She attended the Woodrow Wilson Grammar School, St. Rose Elementary Catholic School, and Benjamin Franklin High. Ann Marie received her GED in 1971, then attained certificates of nursing. She was employed by the Carbondale Nursing Home for 12 years as the Assistant Social Director. So highly thought of by the residents for her loyalty to them, she was known as "Annie the Angel." Ann Marie will be remembered by her family as a warm but strong, loving, and generous person and the first to volunteer when help was needed. She was a friend to all. After she became ill, she was visited by all of her family, friends, and by the sons and daughters of all her friends. They respectfully called her Mom as they never forgot all she had done to make them comfortable and part of her family. Ann Marie had many talents: cooking, sketching, and jewelry making, but her favorite activity was spending time with her family. She also will be remembered for her great big grandmother's heart. She had the ability to make you feel welcome in her home, always sharing what she had, and her generosity extended not only to family, but to friends, and to the families of her friends. To have known her was to have had your life enriched. Always in love with "her Al", who was the love of her life. They had been married for 32 years.
