Ann worked as a customer service representative for Southern Westchester BOCES for over 20 years and retired in 2017.

Ann treasured spending time with her family, celebrating traditions, and traveling with them to new places. Ann’s compassion was limitless, always wanting to make sure everyone was happy. Her ability to change song lyrics and make them even better was amazing and she could toast a marshmallow like nobody’s business. She believed in being kind, being brave, going after what you want in life, and most importantly to having fun doing it. Ann is survived by her loving daughters Catherine Balascio and Stephanie Balascio-Koenig, son-in-law Jon, sister Julia Sweeney, in addition to many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
