Ann Simon

Simon, Ann V.
Ann Vardaro Simon, 84, passed away Sunday, April 5, surrounded by loving family.
Ann worked for more than four decades as a school psychologist in the Bridgeport school system. She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's in psychology from Fairfield University. She was a Stamford resident for 53 years, and most recently resided at Atria Stamford.
Ann was married for 61 years to her loving husband , James F. Simon, an attorney in Stamford. She is survived by her husband and three children: James, Jr., of Bethesda, MD (married to Cecilia Capuzzi Simon); Diane Simon Indivero of Mill Creek, WA (married to Michael Indivero), and Stephen Simon of Richmond, VA. She was the proud grandmother of six grandchildren—her "angels": Nathaniel, Gabriela, Julia, Madeleine, Luke and Adam.
Ann was raised in Philadelphia, PA. Her parents, Lena Petti and Alfred Vardaro, settled in the city after immigrating from Italy at the turn of the century. She attended West Philadelphia High School, and met her future husband when both were students at Penn. They married in 1953, moved to Greenwich, and later settled in Stamford.
A funeral Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Church 37 Schuyler Ave, Stamford CT, Thursday April 9 , 2015 at 11AM. Friends and family may visit at the Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home Thursday morning from 9-10:30 AM.
