Anne Kusnetzky Obituary

Anne Harrigan Kusnetzky (née Fodera), age 70, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2025, in Canandaigua, New York.

Born on October 1, 1954, in Brooklyn, New York, Anne brought warmth and joy to the world from the very beginning. She earned her bachelor's degree in business from SUNY Utica and went on to serve as a Medicaid specialist in Camden County, New Jersey. Her professional life was marked by dedication and compassion for those she served.

Anne married Dan Kusnetzky in 2011, and together they built a life filled with love and adventure. Their journey took them to Osprey and Venice in Florida, Fairport in New York, and ultimately to Canandaigua. Wherever they lived, Anne created a home full of laughter, kindness, and connection.

A devoted student of ECKANKAR, Anne served as a member of the clergy and held the role of ECK Spiritual Aide as well as Regional ECK Spiritual Aide for New Jersey. Her spiritual path was central to her life and reflected her deep commitment to service and inner growth.

Anne had a vibrant spirit that touched everyone she met. She loved the ocean deeply and found joy in singing, dancing, and drawing whimsical caricatures on all her correspondence. Her creativity was matched only by her warmth-she was known for being an excellent listener who made friends wherever she went. To her nieces and nephews, she was simply the best Auntie-loving, playful, and always present.

She is survived by her loving husband Dan; her sisters Marie Peck (Mark) and Lorraine Fodera (Henry Jones); many cousins; nieces; nephews; grandnieces; grandnephews; and friends from around the world who cherished her presence in their lives.

Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Anne's memory to Light Hill Comfort Home in Canandaigua, NY.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the providers and staff at Sands Cancer Center for their unwavering kindness and professionalism. Their care gave Anne several extra years filled with love and meaning. They would also like to that Light Hill Comfort Home staff and volunteers who made her final hours comfortable and took such good care of her family.

May Anne's memory bring comfort to all who knew her.
