Anna Fazekas

Rochester - Anna Fazekas, AKA "The Carwash Lady"   From 1969 through the early 1990's, Nani as she was affectionately called, more than likely washed your car or truck. She was the spitfire who worked at the family owned and operated Fazekas Carwash in Rochester.   If her genuine smile and friendly greeting didn't win you over, then perhaps her quaint Hungarian accent did.   She died on June 30th surrounded by her loving family at the age of 85. COPD was the culprit, though she never smoked.   During the revolution of 1956, Nani along with her husband Joseph, 6 year old daughter Suzie, and 2 year old son Ervin chose to leave their loved ones, home they had just built, and all of their possessions behind to escape communist controlled Hungary.
