Obituary of Ann Elizabeth Berrini

Ann Elizabeth Berrini, 69, of Wilkes-Barre, passed away on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at the Allied Services Hospice Center in Wilkes-Barre. She was born in Wilkes-Barre, a daughter of the late Michael and Ann Kelly Guzzo. Ann was a graduate of Coughlin High School, class of 1972, where she met and started dating her future husband. They would spend 55 years together. A testament to her loyalty to family and those she loved. In addition to her devotion to family and friends, Ann extended kindness to all that she met. Casual acquaintances quickly became unlikely friendships, as she listened with genuine interest and always remembered the details the next time they spoke. Her enthusiasm and positivity as a high school cheerleader continued throughout her life, always cheering and rooting for family and friends in all that they did. Ann enjoyed arts, entertainment and fine dining, often taking trips to New York City to see musicals and have delicious meals. In Ann’s company her laughter was infectious and brightened any room. She truly did live for the moment and focused on the bright side of life. Prior to her retirement, Ann was employed for 50 years at Conyngham & Company and later at Wegmans. Ann was a member of St. Nicholas – St. Mary’s Parish in Wilkes-Barre. At St. Dominic’s Church she taught Sunday School and also coached youth soccer in Parsons.
