🎉🎂 Happy Birthday, Quinn! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating our friend, incredible Director of Funeral Service Operations and the heart of Haisley — Quinn! 💚She is truly a one of a kind gem!

From her vibrant personality and contagious smile to her constant reminder that today is a good day to have a good day, Quinn brings light and positivity wherever she goes. ☀️ She loves what she does and it shows in the care, dedication, and compassion she gives our families every single day.

Quinn goes above and beyond for those she serves, putting her heart and soul into everything she does. She’s also a true community champion — involved in Kiwanis, her church, 4-H, and so much more — somehow making it all look effortless.

When she’s not at work, she’s an amazing boy mom and wife but also the very best dog mom to Lula, our beloved therapy dog 🐾💚. Together, they bring comfort, smiles, and a little extra love to everyone they meet. She also loves working out, boating, reading, shopping, traveling, and crafting.

We are so grateful for you, Quinn, and hope your birthday is as joyful, energetic, and special as you are. Here's to another amazing year! 🥳💚

Ana Maria Yournet

Nuestra madre fue una mujer de fe inquebrantable, oración y amor. Caminó con Dios cada día, y su vida reflejó Su gracia en todo lo que hizo. Cuando las palabras no bastaban, sus oraciones abundaban. En los momentos difíciles, su fe nunca flaqueó.

Mantuvo a nuestra familia unida a través de la oración, confiando en Dios incluso cuando el camino era difícil. Su amor era desinteresado; su fortaleza, serena pero poderosa; y su sabiduría nacía de una relación profunda y duradera con el Señor. Nos enseñó no solo a vivir, sino también a creer, a perdonar y a amar incondicionalmente.

Aunque nuestros corazones lloran su ausencia, encontramos consuelo al saber que ahora descansa en la presencia de Dios, sana, en paz y completa. Su legado perdura en nuestra fe, nuestra fortaleza y el amor que nos inculcó. El cielo ha ganado un alma hermosa, y sus oraciones nos acompañarán para siempre.

El velorio se llevará a cabo el lunes 22 de diciembre de 2025, a las 12:00 p. m., en Haisley Tribute Center, 2041 SW Bayshore Blvd, Port St. Lucie, Florida. A continuación, se celebrará el funeral en el Cementerio Rolling Oaks a las 2:30 p. m., ubicado en 2200 SW Del Rio, también en Port St. Lucie.

Todos los que conocieron y amaron a Ana María son bienvenidos a acompañar a la familia y honrar su memoria.

English

Our mother was a woman of unwavering faith, prayer, and love. She walked with God every day, and her life reflected His grace in everything she did. When words failed, her prayers abounded. In difficult times, her faith never wavered.

She held our family together through prayer, trusting in God even when the path was difficult. Her love was selfless; her strength, serene yet powerful; and her wisdom stemmed from a deep and lasting relationship with the Lord. She taught us not only how to live, but also how to believe, to forgive, and to love unconditionally.

Although our hearts grieve her absence, we find comfort in knowing that she now rests in God's presence, whole, healed, and at peace. Her legacy lives on in our faith, our resilience, and the love she instilled in us. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul, and her prayers will be with us forever.

The viewing will be held on Monday, December 22, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., at Haisley Tribute Center, 2041 SW Bayshore Blvd, Port St. Lucie, Florida. The funeral service will follow at Rolling Oaks Cemetery at 2:30 p.m., located at 2200 SW Del Rio, also in Port St. Lucie.

All who knew and loved Ana Maria are welcome to join her family and honor her memory.

Sandra Kaye Park Picano

Sandra "Sandy" Park Picano left this world on December 12th, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Born to Audrey and John B. Park on January 12th, 1947 at Fort Pierce Memorial Hospital in Fort Pierce, FL, she was raised with her siblings: Lynn Park Kerby, Kirby Park, and Jodee Lyda.

In 1966, she married her high school sweetheart, Michael Jeffrey Picano, Sr. Together, they raised a family and, in 1972, opened Varsity Sport Shop, which proudly served the community for the next 40 years. Early on, Sandy worked as a beautician and played a vital role in helping establish their family business. Yet ever since her days as a student at Aunt Jean’s Kindergarten, she dreamed of becoming a kindergarten teacher and proudly fulfilled that dream at Florida Atlantic University. Sandy went on to teach for more than four decades at Fairlawn Elementary School, F.K. Sweet Elementary School, and then St. Anastasia Catholic School.

Sandy was a creative talent. If she wasn’t taking care of her family, teaching or working at the sport shop, she was making stained glass art, taking tap dance lessons, sewing, or prepping materials for the next day’s lessons. Sandy was not one to sit down. Life with her was busy and sprinkled with so many unforgettable moments: pulling you to dance along with the Supremes or Chubby Checker, taking the long way to explore or striking up an animated conversation with any child in her vicinity. Her grandbabies truly had the best of both worlds, a beautiful mix of Mrs. Picano the teacher and their beloved Nana.

Sandy is survived by her daughter, Lara (Jay) DiMartino; her son, Michael Picano, Jr.; and her adored grandchildren, Sofia, Indie, and Kai, as well as her great‑grandson, Aodhan. She is also survived by her brother, Kirby (Cathy) Park; her sisters, Jodee (Mark) Lyda and Lynn (Steve) Kerby; her Picano family; and thirteen nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, Michael Picano, Sr., just months after they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary; her parents, John B. and Audrey Park; and her beloved childhood caretaker, Lurene Love Bell.

The family would like to thank the wonderful Lake Forest Park staff and Vitas Hospice nurses who always treated Sandy with love and respect. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Vitas Hospice Healthcare Treasure Coast.

Visitation will be held on January 11, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Haisley Funeral Home, 3015 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce, FL 34947.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on her birthday, January 12, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at St. Anastasia Catholic Church, 407 S. 33rd Street, Fort Pierce, FL 34947.
