Ann was best know as “Nana” - the face & namesake of Nanas Pizza in Everett- where she worked from 1991 until 2018. Over those years, Ann became “Nana” to everyone. From the employees to the customers, she would share in the laughs and lives of countless people who considered her easy to confide in because of her genuine care for them. Prior to that, she was a stitcher at Middledale Manufacturing on Tremont Street in Everett.
At home, Ann loved to cook for all occasion’s, most especially Christmas Eve as she opened her home to everyone.
She was the most free, funny and welcoming person most have ever met. She made an unforgettable impression on everyone and will be sorely missed, but certainly remembered.
Visiting hours will be Friday from 10 - 11:45 am at Salvatore Rocco & Sons Funeral Home, 331 Main Street, EVERETT, Friday, September 9th. A prayer service will follow.
