OBITUARY
Ann M. Perrotta
November 19, 1930 – March 20, 2021
Ann M. Perrotta “Bubbles” (nee Del Russo) departed this earth and began her journey back to our Lord Jesus and her loving husband, Joe, on Saturday, March 20, 2021. She passed away peacefully at Mountainside Hospital surrounded by her loving family, feeling their love for her right up until the end.
She was predeceased by her loving and devoted husband, Joe Perrotta; parents, John and Antoinette Del Russo; aunt, Margaret Del Russo; sister and brother in law, Angie and Tom Goertz; and sister in law Joy Del Russo. She was also predeceased by her mother in law and father in law Gelsomina and Vincent Perrotta; sister in law and brother in law, Ann and Frank Faliveno; brother in law, Italo Perrotta; and many loving cousins and friends.
Ann is survived by her loving children, Vincent Perrotta and his wife Gloria, Joanne DellaVolpe and her husband Nick, and Cathy Perrotta and her partner Donna Mirocco; cherished grandsons, Vincent Perrotta and Michael Perrotta and his fiancé Rosie; loving brothers, John Del Russo and Richard Del Russo and his wife JoAnn; brother in law, John Perrotta; sister in law Dot Perrotta; and many loving nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, cousins, and friends.
She was a lifelong resident of Belleville and lifelong parishioner of St. Anthony of Padua Church in Belleville. She was an active member of the Rosary Society and the Senior Citizen Club, both of St. Anthony’s. She was also a member of the Belleville Senior Citizen Club and actively worked on the voting polls in Belleville.
Ann, “Bubbles”, was a faithful, warm, caring, honorable, loyal, and a loving person. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She did not need much to make her happy. She enjoyed the simple things in life. She was kind and giving and she was happiest when her house was full of family and friends. She was so welcoming and always happy to have everyone around her table. She left her mark on everyone whose life she touched. Our tremendous loss is the Lord’s and Heaven’s tremendous gain.
Visitation will be held at the LaMonica Memorial Home, 145 E. Mt. Pleasant Avenue in Livingston, on Wednesday, March 24, 2021 from 8:30 -11:30 am.

To know her was to love her. And you didn’t even have to be in her presence for more than a few minutes to know how special she was. She will be greatly missed. Her legacy will live on through you, Aunt Cathy because there is so much of her in you. We love you and are so sorry for your loss. Xoxo

There are some people who bring a light to this world that is so bright it remains even after they have gone. This is Bubbles. Her love, her kindness, and her ability to make everyone feel like family are just a few of the things I’ve always admired about her. She sent me care packages in college and gave me my teapot at my wedding shower. And I’ll always remember the few awesome Christmas parties we celebrated at her house...and of course her delicious cookies. She always made me feel special and loved, and I’m so grateful that I’ve gotten to know her over the years. We love you Bubbles, and we will miss you!

I still vividly remember the first time I met Bubbles as a young kid- that is the kind of Lady that she was. I remember being instantly drawn to her warmth, her smile, and her cooking...and that never changed. I will cherish the times that I got to go have gravy at her home- and particularly the time that I got to sit with her and eat leftovers from the Christmas Eve feast. She was a wonderful woman, and will be deeply missed. But I am also celebrating her victory to heaven which she was so prepared for, and that she is reunited with her dear husband Joe.

I have learned so many life lessons from your Mom and did not realize I was learning at the time. She is so special. A true Saint. Always happy, caring and loving. I can remember sitting at the kitchen table with Cathy and Joann. Joann and I were just laughing about what I do not know. Your Mom just laughed with us. The happiness was contagious. I have been blessed to have known her and only hope I can live up to all the lessons she has left behind with me. Saint Peter has those gates wide open. Rest In Peace.

Countless treasured and precious memories are remembered.Every moment spent with you was precious and a priceless memory
There's a beautiful place
I can always call home
It's not a house
I once lived in
Or a town I grew up in
But a special place-
a place of hope
and encouragement
happiness and love.
There's a wonderful place
Where I'm always welcome
And that place is my mother's heart.
Wonderful is the word for you, Mom.
Thankful is the word
for Me.
Forever in my heart. Miss you so much and love you even more💔

I remember the coffee and pastry and pizza get togethers at my parents house growing up. Always so much love and laughter; I have no doubt the tradition will carry on in heaven. They were saving your seat!
Always so caring and kind. We will miss you Aunt Bubbles. May you Rest In Peace and continue to watch over all of us!
