Ann was the beloved daughter of her previously deceased parents, Vincent Marcucci and Anna Marcucci.

"Aunt Annie" is also survived by her nieces and nephews, cousins and other relatives and close friends.

Ann was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker. What Ann treasured most was spending time with her family. Some of her favorite things to do were gardening, singing, dancing and watching Eagles football games on Sunday while cooking homemade meatballs and pasta for her family. She also enjoyed serving Pina Coladas poolside in the backyard and spending time in Cape May, NJ. Ann also valued higher education and earned her undergraduate degree later in life at Neumann University.

"Anna Banana" as the staff lovingly referred to her at Maris Grove and Willow Tree Hospice suffered from Alzheimer's disease for many years. She lived her final years at the Maris Grove Rose Court Memory Care and Skilled Nursing Units.
