ALFONSI, Ann. August 13, 2025. 63. Beloved wife of John Alfonsi. Loving mother of Lauren Alfonsi and Megan Alfonsi (Devon Rafferty). Dearest sister of Thomas Jr. (Barb) Thayer, Amy Radabaugh, George (Ginger) Barris, Jody (Keith) Boutell, and Jill Thayer. Loving sister-in-law of JoAnn Alfonsi. Beloved daughter of Esther Barris and the late Thomas Thayer. Beloved stepdaughter to the late Nickolas Barris. Survived by many cousins, and her nieces and nephews: Chloë Barris, Zoë Barris, and Joseph Keelin.
Ann met her husband John in 1986– they've been happily married for almost 38 years. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, Titi, and friend to all around her. She was a huge animal lover who took care of dozens of feral and domestic cats throughout her life, including her soul-cat, Piglet.
Ann will be remembered for her huge heart, incredible thoughtfulness, and fiery spirit. She bravely battled and survived breast cancer in 2007 and continued to live her life with hope, strength, and love. She was an avid reader, a wiz at crossword puzzles and Sudoku, and a passionate holiday decorator. She was extremely proud of her flower garden.
Ann is deeply loved and missed.

I will truly miss your friendship. You were someone special. Very generous with your time and willingness to help out.Meeting for lunch when we could fit them into our schedules. We shared so many memories of our kids as they were growing up and beyond.
I´m glad I stopped by your house around the holidays. We caught up on things. I sat at your island and ate your chocolates while you were working on your dinner. We never know when it´s going to be the final time we will get to share. Until we meet again

You rescued what became our fur babies, Leo & Lilli, giving them lots of love before they came into our home. You were the biggest help with your dad, from periodic dinners, taking him to doctor appointments in Ann Arbor, and doing exercises with him after rehab. You were also a great friend, helping me through your dad's passing and supporting me on my recent cancer journey. You shared your love those around you. With love and gratitude to have been part of your life. May your memory will be eternal. Heidi
