On April 28, 2020, of Philadelphia, PA was called to the light of heaven. Beloved wife of Neal.
Loving mother of Rosemary (James Kearney), William (Jeong) and Thomas (Colleen) and
grandmother to eight grandchildren. She is survived by her brother John and sister Theresa, as
well as many nieces and nephews. Ann was born in Hazleton, Pennsylvania as the youngest of 6
children. After graduating from St. Gabriel’s High School in Hazleton she went on to a nursing
degree from Mercy Hospital. Ann cared for our nation’s veterans at the East Orange VA and the
Georgia VA early in her career. She met the love of her life Neal and was married in 1962. Neal
and Ann eventually relocated to Medford Lakes, New Jersey where Ann became a school nurse
in Cherry Hill, showing a deep devotion to the myriad of students who passed through her door.
Her true passion was always her family. Ann was a devoted mother and grandmother; her
grandchildren were her true pride and joy. Over the last few decades, she faced her chronic
illnesses with grace, determination, and a fierce will to live. Her legacy of love and devotion to
family and others will not be forgotten. Her light will shine on.
