Antoinette “Ann” Ravallese(Nattini) age 86 of Towaco died Monday, March 8, 2010 with the comfort of family by her side.

Ann’s mother, Luisa Ricci, was born and raised in Italy.  She came to live with her brother in Newark, NJ while mourning the loss of her other brother  who died fighting in WW I. Through upstairs neighbors she met and married Benedetto Nattini; they honeymooned during heavy snow in Sloatsburg, NY and never left.

Ann was born and raised in Sloatsburg, NY moved to Paterson, NJ and has lived in Wayne for the past fifty-two years. She attended comptometry school and worked as a bookkeeper at the Ramapo Piece and Dye Works, Sloatsburg, NY.  Through her work she met and fell in love with Albert Ravallese who owned T&R Carriers in Paterson NJ with his two brothers and sister.  They enjoyed 32 years of marriage before Alberts passing in 1979.

She was dedicated to her Catholic faith and was a parishioner of Saint Joan of Arc RC Church, Sloatsburg, NY, Our Lady of the Valley RC Church, Wayne and most recently St. Pius X RC Church, Montville.

Ann was a dedicated mother and grandmother who loved interior design, sewing(she made two wedding dresses…one with only the measurements of the bride), loved to entertain, enjoyed going out for breakfast, and was great at verbal blunders now commonly known as “Yogi-isms”. Family gatherings on Christmas Eve were always celebrated at her home with lasagna and Baccala just a few of the family favorites. She also had a special place in her heart for her Schnauzer Candi.

She was the beloved wife of the late Albert Ravallese(1979); loving mother of Dennis Ravallese of Lake Ariel, PA and James Ravallese and his wife Jody of Towaco; cherished grandmother of Christopher and Lindsay Ravallese; devoted sister of Mary and Rose Nattini both of Sloatsburg, NY; loving aunt to many nieces and nephews.
