In April 1952, Ann married James Beltran, whom she met while working at Equitable Life. He was truly the love of her life. Together they raised three children.

Ann was predeceased by her husband who died in February 2015. She is survived by her children, Marianne Muscolino (Ross), of Pleasantville, Karen Ritell (Bruce) of Sleepy Hollow and Danbury, Conn. and Kieran Beltran (Kathleen) of Montrose.

As one of 10 children, Ann is survived only by her sister, Joan Davanzo. She was predeceased by siblings Sonny, Kay, John, Patricia, Rita, MaryRose, Clare and Joseph.

Ann was a devoted wife and mother, always making sure there was a home-cooked meal for her family. Ann enjoyed card games with friends, including bridge and canasta. She was an accomplished seamstress and knitter.
