Ann Marie Coppi (DeSanno), aged 96, passed away on August 23, 2024, in St. Marys, Georgia.

Born on January 17, 1928, in Brooklyn, NY, she spent her formative years there before moving to Miami, where she raised her family and later settled in St. Marys for her retirement years. Ann was a dedicated wife to Henry, her best friend, and a homemaker, a role she cherished deeply, ensuring her family was well cared for and her home was welcoming. Her hobbies included working in the yard, walking, sewing, traveling with her husband and friends, and storytelling. Ann had a vibrant personality, always ready to engage in conversation with anyone she met and share tales of her youth in Brooklyn as well as her experiences raising her children. Her dog, Sam, was a beloved companion who brought her great joy.

She is survived by her daughter, Fran Granger; son, Dennis Coppi (Marilyn); grandchildren, Robert Granger (Allison), Matthew Granger (Mandy), Christina Giaimo (Charlie), Dennis Coppi Jr. (Virginia), and great-grandchildren, Hayley, Hannah (Justin), Heather, Kaine (Morgan), and Jenna Granger. Ann was also a cherished sister to Dom DeSanno (Jo) and Vincent DeSanno. She leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.

Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry Coppi,  parents, Cono and Madeline DeSanno, her siblings, Mary, Frank, Thomas, Michael, and John DeSanno, and son-in-law Bob Granger (Fran).
