Ann grew up in “Shoofly” Federal Hill, Providence surrounded by grandparents, several aunts, uncles, and cousins. There she met lifelong friends, Marie Falso and Ann Simonelli.

She was a lifelong resident of North Providence. Ann spent most of her time helping others, putting aside everything to be available to anyone who needed her, day, or night. Her specialty was praying her rosary!

She was a loving wife and amazing mom, who loved being in the sun outdoors. She loved to dance and sing. Most recently singing in the Heritage Hills Glee Club, which brought both her and everyone that surrounded her much joy!

We are so thankful to her nurses, cna’s and the staff at Heritage Hills who loved her into eternity. Their love and support were such a blessing to our family.
