Ann P. LaFex, 90, beloved wife, mother, and the best nana ever, passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at home, surrounded by her children.
Ann was born in Far Rockaway NY on February 17, 1935 to Thomas Bell and Elizabeth (Barrett) Bell. Ann graduated from Jamaica High School in Queens, New York.

Ann worked for many years at Pla-mor Lanes and the American Legion Post 61 in Watertown, NY. She was also a proud member of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary until her passing.
She enjoyed crossword puzzles, game shows, reading, playing games on her tablet, and most of all, being around her grandchildren.
She is survived by two sons, Michael LaFex (Jessica Hayden) of Watertown and Thomas LaFex of Orlando, Florida; two daughters, Renee (Jeff) Patterson of Watertown and Denise (Edward) Bone of Florence, MS; her grandchildren, Damien, Jared, Tyler, Joshua, and Gionni; her great-grandchildren, Brynn, Tegan, Riley, Rory, Lucas, and Freyja; as well as several nieces and nephews.
