Anna S. Lehman

Anna S. Lehman, 91, died peacefully at home surrounded by family on May 4, 2026. Born January 22, 1935, she was devoted to her loved ones and lived a joyful life. Anna was the cherished daughter of Wincenty Kosinski and Wladyslawa Kosinski (née Ptak). She was born, raised, and resided in Somerville, NJ, the youngest of eleven siblings: Anthony (Tony/‘Kush’), Benjamin, Walter, Michael, Chester, Stanley, Eddie (‘Krumba’), John, Bernard, and Josephine. She often recalled living behind Somerset Hospital, her days on the farm, and walking the trail through fields behind the hospital to reach Main Street. She loved her parents dearly, and was especially devoted to her father, happily taking his hand wherever they went, and occasionally giving him a few coins from her pay after getting her first job at the little store down the street from their house. She also enjoyed sharing how her older brothers were avid fishermen and who would made their own nets— bouncing her in them to see how strong they were! One of those nets is still hanging in her garage at home. A 1953 graduate of Somerville High School, Anna worked in the accounting department at Deal Manufacturing and later at Gavin Electronics. Her dedication and reliability reflected the values she carried throughout her life. She was the beloved wife of Guy Edward Lehman, the great love of her life and the center of her world. Together they built a home filled with warmth, tradition, and love. Anna is survived by her devoted sons, Kenneth Lehman and his wife Mary Lehman of Somerset, New Jersey, and Eric Lehman and his wife Sheryl Lehman of Burlington, New Jersey. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Erin Lehman and her fiancé Tyler Carroll, Jack Lehman, and Cara Lehman, each of whom brought her immense joy. She is also lovingly remembered by her many nieces and nephews, who affectionately knew her as Aunt Ann, Aunt Annie, and “Coccia Annie,” names that reflected the warmth and closeness she shared with her extended family. She is survived as well by her sister-in-law Patricia Montone and her husband Vincent of Hillsborough, New Jersey, and sister-in-law Lois Lehman of Manville, NJ Anna found happiness daily in the simple beauty of nature. She loved the changing seasons and spent countless hours enjoying her backyard sanctuary—watching birds (especially cardinals), deer, wild turkey, and even the resident groundhog she affectionately named “Woody”. Family holiday gatherings and brunch at home, and dinners out together were among her most treasured moments. She also enjoyed preparing her signature Polish dishes especially gołąbki (stuffed cabbage) and platski’s, (Polish pancakes) which she taught Erin to make as a young child. The Funeral will take place on Friday, May 8, 2026 10:00 AM At St. Joseph Church, 34 Yorktown Rd., Millstone Borough, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. Entombment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery Mausoleum in Piscataway, NJ. Arrangements are under the direction of the Ketusky Funeral Home in Manville, NJ
