Warsaw - Anna Regina Batzold, of Warsaw, passed away peacefully at Wyoming County Skilled Nursing Facility on May 23, 2026, at the remarkable age of 99. Born on April 19, 1927, Anna lived a life filled with love, faith, family, friendship, and joy.

Anna was preceded in death by her parents, John and Tina Alfieri; her beloved husband of 64 years, Eldon B. Batzold, the love of her life since high school; her brothers, Joe and Tom Alfieri; and her sister, Dorothy Cofield.

She is survived by her loving children: Linda (the late Thomas) Sherman of Warsaw, Eldon (Patti) Batzold of Coquille, Oregon, and Cheryl (Brian) Petre of Warsaw. Anna was a proud grandmother to Tom (Michelle) Sherman of LeRoy, Kristin (Ken) Fickling of Pittsford, Stefani (Josh) Prentice, stationed in South Korea, and Danielle Petre of Dallas, Texas.

Anna was a devoted member of Saint Michael's Church, where her faith remained a guiding light throughout her life. Together with her two daughters, she proudly owned and operated Just For You, a retail store that brought not only success, but also countless friendships, memories, and joy to the community.

Anna and Eldon especially treasured vacations with friends, shopping adventures, and the many happy moments they shared together over the years. Anna had a warmth and spirit that touched everyone she met.
