Anne B. (Paone) Perrotti

of Providence, Rhode Island, passed away peacefully on October 31st at the age of 90, surrounded by her loving children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Born on August 6, 1935, Anne lived a full and beautiful life devoted entirely to her family—the heart and joy of her world.

Anne was the devoted wife of the late Lewis A. Perrotti, Sr. Together for more than 70 years, they built a life grounded in family, pride, and unwavering love. Anne was strong and steadfast, and Lewis was her partner through it all. His passing a few years ago left a space in her life that was never truly filled. Now, after years apart, they are together once again—reunited in everlasting peace and love.

A proud and loving mother, Anne leaves behind five children who were her greatest pride: Alfred Perrotti (Antonietta), Robert Perrotti, Anne Heitmann (Dr. Ronald), Lori Perrotti Johns (Alan), and Lewis Perrotti, Jr. (Tami). She was also blessed with six grandchildren: Kassondra Romani (Patrick), Arianna Kennedy (Patrick), Brandon Heitmann (Amanda), Brianna Dubovenko (Alex), Alfred Perrotti II (Melissa), and Alicia Perrotti, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Her love continued to grow with her great-grandchildren—Luca Romani, Enzo Perrotti, and Brooke Kennedy—and she looked forward with joy to the arrival of another great-grandchild on the way.

Anne’s happiest moments were when her family gathered—especially during the holidays. Those times were filled with her favorite foods, long-standing family traditions, and the sentimental touches she cherished so deeply. The kitchen was always the heart of her home, where generations came together to eat, laugh, and share the kind of quiet understanding that didn’t need words. The familiar dishes she prepared, the decorations she carefully kept through the years, and the way everyone gathered under one roof reflected what mattered most to her—family.

Anne's love was woven into every part of family life. It showed in the meals she made, the care she took in keeping traditions alive, and the pride she felt watching her family grow. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy, and in her later years, she was deeply blessed to meet and love her great-grandchildren. They brought her a happiness that was both pure and profound—lighting up her final years in a way words could never fully capture.

Anne’s legacy is one of quiet strength, deep devotion, and enduring family bonds. Anne's love was felt in everything she did and in the life she built. She will be remembered with respect, love, and gratitude by all who loved her.
