Valbruna Giorni McAnally, an awesome mother and devoted grandmother, went to be with the angels in Heaven on August 22, 2021 at the age of 86. She was born in Vicenza, Italy and immigrated to the USA after marrying the love of her life, Charles “Charlie” McAnally in 1959, a career military man.
Valbruna was a very caring person who never judged anyone. She loved traveling, going camping with her husband and children when they were young. In her later years, she travelled extensively throughout the United States with Charlie often going weeks or months at a time. She especially enjoyed the trips to Florida as they often took their granddaughter with them.
Valbruna worked at Tiffany's Bridal and Formal for several years. When at home, she enjoyed cooking Italian meals from scratch. Valbruna loved the simplest things in life; the smell of wildflowers, walking along the beach, sitting in a lawn chair in her backyard listening to the birds singing.
Valbruna is survived by her husband Charlie, daughter Susan Antognozzi and her husband Joe, her son Christian McAnally, her granddaughter Tiffany Rohrbaugh and her husband Jared and her many extended family members who live in Italy.
She will be deeply missed by all who have been touched by her beautiful soul. A funeral service honoring her life will be held Monday, August 30, 2021 at 11:00am at J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home, 820 W. Broadway, Hopewell, VA 23860. Visitation will be one-hour prior from 10am to 11am. Condolences may be registered online at
