It was always nice to have Aunt Ann be part of our family. She was bright, loving and a hard worker. We loved her wit and her wisdom.

Though due to distance and obligations, my sister Nancy Molloy, her daughter and my family could not be there for the services, our Aunt Ann was a very special part of our family and our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with her. Love, her niece Jean Carbone
