Anne Nancy Vinacco

83, of Cranston, passed away on Sunday January 28, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, and listening to her favorite music by Elvis and Andrea Bocelli.

Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Louis and Lucrezia (DiMauro) Vinacco.

Prior to graduating Joanne’s hairdresser school in 1963, Anne worked at Coro Jewelry and D.R. Connors. Later, as a hair stylist and businesswoman, she managed and owned Regency Hair Salon in East Providence.

She was a loving, compassionate, and generous person who enjoyed cooking, painting, drawing, and bingo at Foxwoods. Wherever she went, she would draw pictures of flowers for strangers as a kind gesture to brighten their day.

What was most important to Anne was her family. She was the caretaker of her late mother and the organizer of many family parties at her home, including the 4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas. For years, she also organized family bus trips to NY to see the Rockettes and one-time rented Crescent Park Carousel for the family to enjoy.

She was the beloved sister of Lucretia Bailey of Cranston, Richard Vinacco of Providence, and the late Hope Parillo, Joseph Vinacco, Lucy Almagno, John Vinacco, Evelyn Voccio and Anthony Vinacco. She is also survived by many loving nieces & nephews and their families.
