Annette Mayo Pagano

I was so saddened by the news of her passing as we had many fun years together on Frankel Blvd as neighbors. We had many great times in High School and she will surely be missed! I hope she found a great mountain to hike in Heaven!

My sister Annette loved her family so much and they in turn, treasured her. To say that she´ll be missed is an incredible understatement because Annette was always bigger than life. She put her all into whatever her current focus was. From starting a Sorority while a student at Kennedy High School, in Bellmore NY, to completing her Doctorate in Human Development at Fielding Graduate University to writing her book, "Journeys of Women Without Custody." Annette even had the boldness to create a startup national Woman´s Organization in support of Women facing alternatives that are difficult to navigate. My sister was not an idle observer of life but a participant in shaking up the status quo in order to create new opportunities that an individual might not ever consider. Annette took her passions to the edge and will always have a lasting legacy among those her knew her, and loved her. God bless you, Annette.
