Anna Gut (Goot)

April 19, 2018

The spirit of Anna Gut (Goot), whose quiet laughter and sweet demeanor won’t be soon forgotten, rose above the April 19th snow showers to rejoin her predeceased family and friends at the age of 95. Poland-born, Anna (Lokiec) Gut, was born to persevere. She and her siblings were orphaned young but were raised by loving relatives. While not defined by the experience, she was a WWII labor camp survivor (Auschwitz), and was later sponsored by a Syracuse priest in late 1949 to bring her, her husband (John J Gut), daughter Theresa (Vincent) Smoral and a son who was soon to be born stateside, Joseph John (Jane) Goot. Her legacy of love was her 46 years of marriage to her soulmate John Gut. Her family takes solace knowing that they are joyously reunited in heaven but not before setting a strong example of what a loving relationship could be. As the matriarch she also became a respected employee at R.E. Dietz, a real estate entrepreneur, a grandmother to five Anne Smoral, Laura Smoral, Jennifer (Bryan) Gargano, Jessica (Danny) Gorman, John (Renee) Goot, great-grandmother to Sarah and Kaitlyn Gargano, and two doggies. Her pierogi making lessons were a rite of passage. Westvale, Camillus, and later Loretto where she resided provided her love and companionship. She was a life-long parishioner of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Syracuse. Calling hours will be held Monday, April 23rd from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, at Giminski-Wysocki Funeral Home; 1320 W. Genesee Street. Funeral services will be held 9:30 AM, Tuesday April 24th, at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; 927 Park Street, Syracuse. Burial: Sacred Heart Cemetery, Geddes.
