Anna Larkin Stanton, 92, of Heritage Village, Southbury, died peacefully January 22. She was born June 18, 1922, in Bridgeport, and graduated from Warren Harding High School.

Formerly of Sandy Hook, she moved to Heritage Village with her husband 20 years ago where she enjoyed coordinating luncheons for all her neighbors.

Mrs Stanton worked for the Newtown Sewing Center, Remington Arms Company, and Kleiner Yarns. She volunteered for many organizations, including Trinity Church in Newtown, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Girl Scouts of America, and the American Red Cross.
