We are Ann Marie's family, her Legacy. May God Bless Ann Marie and all who love her as we pray for peace. Thank you for supporting us during this dark time.

On October 1st we lost a bright light so suddenly it doesn’t yet feel real. Ann Marie (Cutaia) Parrino was working and taking care of her family one minute and gone the next. Ann Marie suffered a massive cardiac event and despite best efforts of her mother, neighbors, sister and emergency responders, we lost her. The news of this emergency and losing Ann Marie so unexpectedly has left us numb, trying to make sense of the senseless.

Ann Marie could win anyone’s heart with her smile and kindness. Ask anyone what she was like and one of the first things that comes to mind is, “Ann Marie took care of everyone.” No matter what was happening, Ann Marie made it her business to help whoever needed it. Even if we didn’t know we needed it. As a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend and everything in between, Ann Marie was loved by all. We will forever miss the fun times watching the kids play, her hugs and kisses, sharing a meal or special occasion, a road trip, a concert, a Yankee game or just texting and “loving” every message and pic.

We write this with a heavy heart asking for your help as Ann Marie’s husband, daughters and loved ones honor her life and manage funeral costs. She was too young to go, and we will love her always.
