Antoinette Cammilleri “Ann” age 93 of Homestead, Florida formerly of Brooklyn, New York.  She lived a long and happy lifetime spending half her life in Brooklyn and the other half in enjoyable retirement with her late husband Salvatore in Homestead, Florida.

In the last few years her health was diminishing and her family found refuge for her at Molly’s House Assisted Living where she passed away on November 25, 2010 on Thanksgiving day.  Her death was graciously peaceful and took place as she slept.

She was born in Brooklyn, New York to Anthony and Lillian Ippolito.  In 1935 she married Salvatore Cammilleri. They set up their home together in Brooklyn where they lived before retiring to Homestead, Florida.  They had a loving marriage for seventy-two years.

Perhaps the finest dedication in her life was family. Salvatore and Antoinette raised three daughters and one son -- Pauline, Lillian, MaryAnn and Sandy.  

As time passed, she became a loving grandmother to nine grandchildren. They remember many hugs from her. On top of that she accumulated fourteen great grandchildren whom she loved with all of her heart.

Over the years Ann worked as a seamstress to help support the family.  Her specialty was high-end special occasion dresses. She also simultaneously helped manage her husband’s plumbing business and care for her grandchildren. She was famous for canning and cooking the fruits and vegetables from her husband’s garden. Her hobbies included sewing, needle point and she very much enjoyed reading the daily newspaper. Ann had a firm dedication to her Roman Catholic Faith and she made sure she passed that on to her children.

Surviving to mourn her loss are three daughters Pauline Maniscalco and her husband Anthony of Cornelia, Georgia, Lillian Satterlee of Wayne, NJ, MaryAnn Amato and her husband Joseph of Valley Stream, NY; one son, Sandy Cammilleri and his wife Josephine of Cape Coral, Florida; nine grandchildren MaryAnn Nobile, Theresa Muoio, Linda Kohberger, Marcella Chateau, AnnMarie Cammilleri, Susan Mastellone, Karen DiGiovanni, Salvatore Cammilleri, Christopher Cammilleri and fourteen great grandchildren.
