Antoinette Elizabeth Ferrante

Heaven has gained another angel. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Antoinette (Ann) Ciaramitaro Ferrante. Born in 1933 to Neno and Antonia Ciaramitaro in Pittsburg, California, Ann was the twelfth of thirteen children, growing up in a lively and loving family.

In 1955, Ann married the love of her life, Neno Ferrante, and together they began a new chapter in Monterey. Their partnership was filled with warmth and devotion, and they cherished the time spent with family and friends.

Ann dedicated 25 years of service to Bank of America, where she made many lasting connections. She and Neno enjoyed many trips over the years to Tahoe and Reno, as well as the many bus trips with friends. These trips made for many wonderful memories with family and friends.

She found immense joy in volunteering. Ann was actively involved with organizations such as the Italian Catholic Federation, Santa Rosalia Festa Italia, Italian Heritage Society, Catholic Daughters, Young Ladies Institute, Monterey Civic Club, and San Carlos Cathedral. She enjoyed her monthly Bunco groups and Monterey Ladies Bocce.

Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Neno, and is survived by her son, Anthony (Jeanine) and daughter Theresa. Her family and friends will always remember the love she brought into their lives and the positive impact she made within her community.

Graveside service will be held on Friday, February 13th, 11:00 am at the San Carlos Cemetery, 792 Fremont Ave, Monterey. In lieu of flowers, donations to San Carlos Cathedral (for Monterey Ladies Bocce), St. Angela Merici Church Pacific Grove, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or Shriners Children’s in Ann’s name are appreciated.
