Born on June 27, 1937, in Buffalo, New York, Ann was the daughter of Bernard and Blanche Szczypiorski. She dedicated her life to serving others, starting with her career in education after graduating with a degree in elementary education from D’youville University in 1960. Ann's passion for teaching touched the lives of many students before she embarked on her most important role as a devoted wife and mother.

Ann’s marriage with William (Bill) Chrzanowski on August 10, 1963, in Cheektowaga, New York, marked the beginning of a journey filled with love and devotion. Their marriage of nearly 50 years was a testament to their commitment to each other and to their shared values of faith and family.

Faith was the cornerstone of Ann's life, and her deep devotion to God was evident in her daily rituals of prayer, attending Mass, reciting novenas and Rosary. She was a shining example of living a life guided by faith.

Ann's greatest joy came from her family. She poured her heart and soul into nurturing and supporting her six children: Claudette, Christie, Laurie, Maria, Brenda, and Damian. Her love knew no bounds, and she instilled in them the values of love, kindness, and resilience. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love.

Ann was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, where her faith community provided her with strength and solace.

Ann is reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, William T. Chrzanowski, her parents, Bernard and Blanche Szczypiorski, her brother Bernard Szczypiorski, and her son-in-law Mark Isaacson. While she will be deeply missed, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Ann leaves behind a cherished legacy of love and devotion. She is survived by her children, Claudette Simpson and husband Kurt, Christie Isaacson, Laurie Chrzanowski, Maria Chrzanowski, Brenda Smith, and Damian Chrzanowski and wife Carol; nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
