Antoinette “Ann” Passalacqua (Sacco), age 89 of Jackson and formerly of Paterson, died on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at the Ocean Medical Center in Brick, NJ.

Ann was born in Paterson and lived for nearly sixty years in the Totowa section. She has lived in Jackson, NJ for the past thirty years, having retired there with her husband, Carmen.

She was a sewing machine operator for the Barbizon Corporation in Paterson nearly twenty five years before retiring in 1979.

Ann met her husband, Carmen, when they were both working at the Paterson Throwing Company during the late 1940’s and were married at St. Mary’s RC Church in Paterson in 1948. They enjoyed sixty years of marriage as “best friends”, lovingly devoted to each other. During the years since their retirement, they travelled extensively throughout the United States and Canada, as well as Italy. Ann’s favorite destination, above all others, was home.

She was also a great cook. Her stuffed artichokes were unbelievable and she would gladly share any recipe.

Ann is survived by her dear husband Carmen of Jackson, NJ, five nephews; Nicholas Gallo and his wife Lois of Glen Ridge, Anthony Passalacqua of Wayne, Robert Gallo of Clifton, Eugene Passalacqua and his wife Barbara of Wayne, and Andrew Passalacqua of Wayne, one niece; Joyce Deehan and her husband Charles of Parsippany, two sisters; Josephine Copenal of Manchester, NJ, Raffaela Bloodgood of Venice, Florida, and one brother; Anthony Sacco and his wife Mary of Clifton, as well as many great-nieces, great-nephews, and dear friends.
