In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Humane Society of Broward County in memory of Anna Maria Cammarota.

Anna Maria Cammarota passed away on March 5, 2025 at Broward Health Medical Center. Born on October 5, 1951 in Brooklyn, NY, Anna Maria lived a beautiful life devoted to her friends, co-workers, family, partner Efran, and her animals that she cared for and loved. She departed this world leaving behind a life lived with love, care, and support for her family and friends, faith in the Catholic Church, and a tremendous love of life itself.

Anna Maria left a message about how grateful she was in life.

Things that I'm grateful for:

A nice growing up with my family

My sight to see my mother nurture

Getting up every morning

Loving parents and brother

Friends alive and passed in heaven

Angels and spiritual guides

To walk, talk, and breathe

A healthy son and his happiness

My job and the people I met along my Red Lobster years

All of my animals that brought me so much love in my life and happiness and sadness

Driving a car and not to have to take the bus

The birds that sing, flowers that I enjoyed to smell

This apartment and the tranquility I find here

My family that through the years helped me with money

A great life

Marriage and a wedding

Efran for company

Anna Maria grew up in Queens, NY. She graduated from Newtown High School in Elmhurst, NY. Following Anna Maria's marriage, she moved to Margate, FL with her husband and son to be closer to her parents who retired and moved to Florida. During her years in South Florida, she worked for Red Lobster and Olive Garden for over 40 years. She lived in Croissant Park, Fort Lauderdale, close to her best friends and with her partner, Efran.  Her faith in God guided her through life.

Anna Maria is survived by her son, Scott Neidhofer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Phyllis and Dommencio Cammarota, her loving brother, Anthony Cammarota, and her beloved furry best friend, Goldie.
