Born in Akron on February 13, 1918, Ann was a lifelong resident of Firestone Park and a 1936 graduate of South High School. After high school, Ann worked at Polsky’s, Akron Selle, and as a Rosie the Riveter at Goodyear during World War II.

Ann met John at a dance at St. John’s catholic church and they married in 1942. Ann was a homemaker who loved family and cooking, especially ethnic meals for the holidays. For the last 8 years, Ann lived with Tom and Sheri at their home in Silver Lake. She always had a smile on her face, enjoyed reading cookbooks and watching cooking shows, and doing circle word puzzles. Ann was a joy to be with and will be missed immensely. “Mom and Dad: Thank you for the wonderful life you gave me. I love you and will think of you both every day.” A special thanks to Kathy and Val for their loving care of Ann and for Sally’s monthly communion visits.
