Ann embraced life with enthusiasm, warmth, and joy. She loved playing cards, cribbage, Mahjong, and board games, and she never missed an opportunity to enjoy a good party. Most of all, she treasured time spent with family and friends. Her welcoming nature, sense of humor, and genuine kindness made her a pleasure to be around and earned her the affection of all who knew her.

Ann is also survived by her beloved sisters, Claire Masterson of Maine; Mary Poirier of Uxbridge MA; and Jean Bossi and her husband, Vincent of Maine. She shared a special bond with her many nieces and nephews, all of whom held a treasured place in her heart.
Ann was predeceased by her loving parents, Florence and Philip Pascarelli; her sister, Roseann Brawley; her brother, Philip “Sonny” Pascarelli; and her sister, Florence Celata. Though she deeply missed those who passed before her, their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.

I never knew her to not have a smile on her face. When I first met her with the sticky spaghetti to many years later w/ the backwards sneakers and always taking our money in poker. She left so many fond memories. She will be sorely missed.
