VERNON -- Jo Ann F. Mac Mullan, 64, died Monday, Nov. 2, 2009, at Saint Clare's Hospital in Dover, following a long illness. Mrs. Mac Mullan, the daughter of the late Rocco and Frances (De Gaetano) Nappi, was born Aug. 5, 1945 in Yonkers, N.Y.

Mrs. Mac Mullan was an office assistant with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. in Yonkers, retiring in 1980.
