Annmarie Abbatiello

Annmarie Abbatiello transitioned to meet our Lord and Savor on January 21, 2023. Annmarie was a resident of St Johns FL. She was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 17th 1956, enjoyed many of her school years in Minnetonka MN and eventually moved to Florida. On January 7, 2018 Annmarie fell and suffered a broken neck which left her paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe on her own. She endured a lengthly surgical procedure to restore her neck and for 6 months she fought hard to eventually regain the use of her arms and legs and to breathe on her own once again. She was named the "Miracle Girl" by the entire staff of the hospital and rehabilitation facilities where she stayed during her recuperation. During her hospitalization she had little to no recollection of her fall and injury however she did say that she remembered thinking how grateful she was to have been baptized again as an adult on Christmas Eve 2016. She expressed a peaceful feeling knowing that Jesus was with her as we waited for paramedics to arrive right after her fall. In the months after her release from the hospital she continued to be called the "Miracle Girl" as she shared her story with people she would meet. Sharing the hope of Jesus and the miracles that happen every day. Annmarie's passing was unexpected to those who love her. She leaves behind her loving family, her parents, Albert and Phyllis Abbatiello, her sister Lisa Powell and brother in law Mark Powell, her brother Len Abbatiello and sister in law Cindy Abbatiello. She also leaves behind her nephews, Lee Striegel (wife AleaSha Meyer), Eric Striegel (wife Angie Striegel and grand nephews, Deacon and Ezra), her nieces, Leah Abbatiello, Caitlin Abbatiello and Jennifer Abbatiello. Annmarie will truly be missed every day. She will be remembered for her bright smile that could light up a room, her quick wittiness, her friendly nature, at times her stubbornness, the beautiful crafts she created, her love for her pets and so much more. If you were fortunate to be loved by Annmarie you knew she loved you fiercely. Rest peacefully in the loving presence of Jesus, Annmarie. Until we see you again.
