“SUCCESSFUL LIFE” – Eugene Grinman

Death is an inevitable fate. Someday we have to go.
You hope you did your best in life, but how are you to know?

It’s not the model of your car or brand of clothes you wear.
It’s not some fancy, famous name, sewn in your underwear.

It’s not the square footage of your house or what you keep inside.
There’s no material you possess that proves success in life.

It’s everything you sacrificed and choices you made.
It’s all the problems that you solved, your lessons from mistakes.

It’s bad times you’ve persevered. It’s all the fun you’ve had.
It’s any time you’ve ever laughed and every tear you’ve shed.

It’s any time that you’ve been proud of others or yourself.
It’s every song you turned up loud, and every friend you helped.

It’s every wish you ever had. It’s all your dreams and hopes.
It’s all the books you ever read, the movies that you’ve seen.

It’s all the stories you told, The places you’ve been.
It’s every sunset that you caught and every cent you spent.

It’s anyone you’ve ever loved who mourns you in the end.

It’s all these things and so much more, so don’t stress.
If you lived your life Wild-n-free, Then it’s been a success.

Anne E. Ganter, age 78, passed away on January 25, 2026. Born and raised in Chester, PA, Anne most recently lived in Linwood. She worked at Fiber Metal, where she met her husband, Ed, and later at Naaman’s Drive-In. But the role she cherished most was caring for her family. She lovingly raised her son, Edward, and devoted herself to her granddaughter, Kellianne, offering steady love and guidance throughout their lives.

Anne had a deep affection for animals, especially her beloved dog Josie, who was her constant companion, her “grandpup,” Corvus, and a lifelong love of horses. She found comfort in simple joys: listening to ocean waves, rainy and chilly days, snowy winter evenings, and the peaceful quiet of late nights. Wildwood—especially her September stays at the Shore Plaza—held a special place in her heart. She also loved cardinals, and spotting one always took her breath away.

She enjoyed watching QVC, lunches at Olive Garden, and had a well-known sweet tooth. Anne faced her final days with quiet acceptance and passed peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family.

She was a parishioner of St. Robert’s Church and later Holy Saviour Church.

Anne was the daughter of the late Etro and Gertrude DiAngelo, wife of the late Edward Ganter, Sr., and sister to the late Ettore DiAngelo.

She is survived by her son, Edward Ganter, Jr., and her granddaughter, Kellianne Ganter (Michael James).
