Ann married Fred Andreassi from New York City on September 28th, 1946 at Saint Patrick's Church in Brady's Bend, PA.  Ann and Fred then built a beautiful life in the Bronx, NY where they had four children, GraceAnne (Bob) DeCandido of Bronx, NY, Fred Andreassi of Poughkeepsie, NY, Nat Andreassi of Yonkers, NY and Monica Andreassi of East Brady, PA.  Together they shared love of their families, devotion to their faith and the joy of music.

Ann returned to Roseville, PA to live with her beloved mother Grace upon the sudden death of her husband Fred in 1976.  Grace and Ann shared a home, a love of family, the enjoyment of cooking and the fun of yelling "Bingo!"

Ann was a member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church where she was active in the Altar Rosary Society, the Young at Heart and sang in the choir for many years.  She also was a member of the Sons of Italy #1484 in Bradys Bend.
