Obituary: Anna M. DeCoste
/Anna M. DeCoste, 49
Anna M. DeCoste, of Hull, passed away Saturday after a brief illness, with her loving son and husband at her bedside. She was 49.
Anna was born in Dorchester as the youngest of six. She met her husband in May 1993. In 1995 Kevin was born; Anna loved taking Kev to auditions and movie sets for his acting as a child and became his agent looking out for him. She also loved taking care of Sean, Tyler, and Ryan who, although not her children, were treated like one of Anna’s own.
She loved animals, and at any given time she could have multiple dogs and cats living at her house. She especially loved her Jack and was looking forward to Mhysa having puppies.
In 2000, while visiting friends, Anna fell in love with Hull, and in 2001 she and Bob bought their house, which she turned into a beautiful loving home from a small cottage. She loved the ocean and enjoyed going tubing on her boat and watching her little guy Brayden. She lived her life with gusto and loved using her hoverboard around town. She was always there to help someone out, especially if they were a child in need of a loving adult or a place to stay. She also loved hosting her annual Super Bowl parties and was an ardent fan of the Pats and Sox.
She is survived by her adoring husband, Bob, her cherished son, Kevin, and many surrogate sons and daughters as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
