Obituary

Anna "Ann" Petito passed away on September 12th, just a few days after her 93rd birthday. While her quick wit and wonderful sense of humor will be sorely missed, Ann will be best remembered for her love for family and friends. She was a loving mother to Joseph, Mary and Judy and a devoted "Nanna" to her grandchildren Joseph, Brianne, Laura and Melissa.
Born in Brooklyn, NY to Renato and Teresa Anari, Ann and her husband Joe moved to Cliffside Park, NJ in the 1960s. She was involved in numerous charitable activities there including as a Special Olympics volunteer and a Bergen County Democratic Party Committeewoman. She loved reading so much that she was appointed a Trustee for the Cliffside Park Free Public Library. When Joe passed away suddenly in 1975, Ann supported her young family by going to work in the Cliffside Park Tax Assessor's office, from which she retired in 1996.
Ann's Catholic faith was very important to her and sustained her through her husband's illness and other challenges which she faced. For many years she was a member of the Confraternity of Christian Women at The Ephipany Roman Catholic Church in Cliffside Park, where she worshipped. We are confident that Ann has found her place in Heaven.
A wake will be held on Tuesday, September 14th, from 4-8 pm at A.K Macagna Funeral Home, 495 Andersen Avenue, Cliffside Park. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, September 15th at 12:30pm at the Church of the Epiphany, 247 Knox Avenue, Cliffside Park. Interment to follow at George Washington Memorial Park Cemetery in Paramus, N.J.
