Ann had a profound connection to her Christian faith, beginning during her early years when she helped her mother in the cleaning of the old St. Cajetan Church Rectory on Schoonmaker Ave. Her spiritual journey laid the foundation for a life lived as an Earth Angel, a role model whose virtues we aspire to emulate. Throughout her life, Ann remained a steadfast beacon of faith, showcasing her beliefs through acts of compassion, boundless generosity, and dedicated volunteerism. She will be greatly missed.
