Ann M. Konowich (Nee: Terenghi), 92, passed away peacefully at her home in Wayne, New Jersey on Saturday, February 25, 2012, where she lived with her son, Robert Konowich and daughter-in-law Vita.
She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband Jacob and her beloved daughter, Paulette DeFrance. She is survived by her daughter Jackie Wakefield, and three sons Joseph and his wife Joanne, Robert and his wife Vita, and Stephen; her grandchildren: Steven Vanadia and his wife Lynn, Chris Vanadia and his wife Maryann, Suzanne Rivera and her husband Orlando, Lisa Ferguson and her husband Brad, Vita Tangorra and her husband Jason, Katie, April & Bobbi Konowich and Jill Konowich and her fiancé Daniel. Her great-grandchildren: Michael & Mark Vanadia, Michelle & Gabrielle Vanadia, Sophia Rivera, Pauline, Caitlin, Lauren & Jake Ferguson. Her niece Geraldine McCrobie and her cousins Tony Digilio and Charles Terenghi.
Ann grew up in Newark, NJ where she raised her five children prior to moving to West Orange, NJ. There she worked at Ann’s Clam Bar as manager for 27 years. Everyone knew her as “Kay” there. She retired in 1987 and moved to Parsippany. Some of Ann’s hobbies included knitting, crocheting, cooking and bird watching. Ann loved watching her old western cowboy movies. She also loved to play cards and games with all her grandchildren. Ann also couldn’t resist a good game of roulette or the slots every time she got a chance to visit Atlantic City. While living in Wayne, she participated in the Golden Age Circle of Wayne, where she enjoyed socializing with her new found friends and partaking in all the activities.
Ann’s favorite flowers were mini carnations and favorite charity was the Salvation Army. Donations to the Salvation Army can be sent to: PO Box 1976, 31 Van Houten Street, Paterson, NJ 07509.
