Ann was married to Guido Leone on August 28, 1971; they were wed for 44 years until Guido's passing in May of 2015.
Ann worked as an aide in the Pittsburgh Public Schools for many years.Ann made a positive impact on the lives of countless people through her work in the schools as well as her volunteerism within the community of Beechview. Among many other endeavors, Ann was active in planning community celebrations, assisted with the Beechview Athletic Association, and helped manage the area's youth group programs.
Ann had a zest for life. She was always quick to smile and loved to share an infectious good laugh. She adored her three children and had room in her heart to serve as a neighborhood mom for the many who were fortunate enough to make her acquaintance. Ann loved children, music, reading, a good TV series, nature, dogs, travel, and shopping. She was a great cook and all her dishes were made with a lot of love (and no written recipes).
Ann is survived by her beloved children, Joseph (Krista), James, (Antoinette), and Gina (Patrick Kiley); nephew, Michael Corbett; nieces, Beth Predmore, Laurie Romah, and Colleen Xenakis; cousin, Gary Kipp; and many other family and friends.
Ann leaves behind a beautiful legacy full of love, laughter, smiles and selfless giving. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. May she rest in peace and her memory be eternal. Some of Ann's parting words, "Life is beautiful. I had a great time. I am happy."
