Anna D. Kalal (née Wells), formerly of Madison, found final peace at Harbor Point of Centerville, Massachusetts, on March 6 surrounded by her three devoted children, Richard Bernardo, Thomas Bernardo, and Beth Massey. Anna is also survived by her son-in-law Robert Massey, Jennifer Rako, and grandchildren MaryLynn Waldner (and her husband, Joshua), Caroline Massey, and Alexandra Bernardo. Anna was predeceased by her beloved husband Charles T. Kalal, as well as her parents Helen Sanders Wells and John Doane Wells.

Born Feb. 18, 1934, in Lynn, Massachusetts, she went to Miss Hall’s School (Pittsfield, Massachusetts), then Leland Powers School for Communications (Boston, Massachusetts). After growing up in Salem and Marblehead, Massachusetts, she was a pioneer in many ways: Hartford’s “Sealy Weather Girl” in early television times; tennis instructor; Waterford Racquet Club founding manager; St. Bernard’s High School girls’ tennis coach; Dancearobics instructor; hospital patient-advocate; neuro-development volunteer with Waterford’s Seaside Regional Center for mental disabilities; radio broadcast voice talent and radio sales executive (WNLC and WSUB); country traveler for her novel Business Sitting (featured in AARP The Magazine); and onsite supporter of women in Zambia with their business collective.

She loved Monhegan Island, sailing, and nature. For most of the last 20 years, she enjoyed singing in the choir with The Lutheran Church of Madison.

Memorial service will be postponed and held at a later date. In lieu of flowers remembrances may be made to The Lutheran Church of Madison, 9 Britton Lane, Madison, CT 06443, www.LutheranChurchofMadison.com.
