She was born on March 22, 1929 in Brooklyn, NY to Michael and Marie Guidicipietro who immigrated to New York from Italy. She was one of 12 children and grew up in a loving and passionate Italian family in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Her family came from humble beginnings and her father was able to establish and run a paper company in Brooklyn in his lifetime. Ann and her siblings enjoyed growing up in a family business in New York City. She loved visiting nearby Coney Island for walks on the boardwalk and a chance to go to the beach. In fact, that's where her and her husband, Ralph Scotto had their first date. They met by chance when he passed by her house when she was sitting on her stoop and they started talking and hit it off. Ralph and Ann Scotto got married on December 9, 1950. Together they had three children, Lois, Louis, and Deborah. They raised them in Bensonhurst, until 1968, when they all moved to Staten Island, NY for their next chapter. She loved her home in Staten Island and also loved to spend time upstate at her house in the Catskills where her and her family would spend summers and weekends enjoying the nature, scenery, and peace. Later in life, she started working as an Assistant Teacher at the YMCA Preschool in Staten Island, NY and enjoyed working with children and the community she built there. She also was a member of the Great Kills Senior Center where she loved to spend time with her friends. Ann was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and great grandmother. She loved spending time with her family and helped raise and had an incredible bond with her three grandchildren Michael, Melissa, and Danielle. Ann is now reunited with her loving husband of 48 years Ralph Scotto, her beloved granddaughter Danielle Scotto, her parents and siblings. She is survived by her daughter Lois Scotto, her son Louis Scotto and his wife Franca, her daughter Deborah Katsoris and her husband Michael, her granddaughter Melissa Katsoris and her husband Anthony Drimones, her grandson Michael Katsoris and Elisa Flores, and her beloved great grandson Elias Michael Katsoris.
