Ann spent her life in the Cleveland area, raising her family in Garfield Heights before moving to Solon and spending years working in the city of Cleveland.  She was passionate about her family, cooking and the Gust Gallucci Company.  She came from a large family and enjoyed having her grandchildren and great grandchildren around her.  Ann made sure everyone was well fed, showing her love through amazing, traditional Italian dishes. She helped at her daughter's pizza shop in Solon making pizza dough and homemade meatballs for the subs.  In the early 1990s until shortly before her death, Ann was a fixture at Gallucci's, an Italian Imported Foods store located in the midtown corridor.  She enjoyed working alongside her husband and children and doing the thing she loved the most – cooking.  Customers loved saying hello to Ann, watching her make her famous pasta and pizza sauces and sneaking cookies to the kids.
