She was predeceased by her sisters, Clorinda "School Girl" Ruocco, Mary Nacca, Louise Carpentino, Lorraine Celentano, and her brothers, John, Frank, Joseph and Anthony Mongillo.

Ann believed deeply in doing for others and living a selfless life, always caring for her family members with unwavering dedication.

In her later years, Ann found a wonderful home at Elim Park in Cheshire, where the staff became her second family. The family extends heartfelt thanks to everyone at Elim Park for their kindness and care over the past four years. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Ann dedicated 27 years of service to the New Haven Board of Education, prior to her retirement in 1991.
