Ann was born Angeline Clara Degli-Uomini, one of a large Italian family of 10 children, on September 30, 1917 in Crabtree, Pennsylvania and she grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, where she graduated from East High School.
She married her next door neighbor, Ralph Rashid, on March 15, 1941. Together they lived a rich and full life, traveling and living all over the world.
Ann was a devoted wife and mother. She showed her love and affection by cooking incredibly delicious food. She unselfishly cared for our ailing father for many years. She loved everything from her bowling club, lunch bunch, and gardening to grand entertaining.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, Colonel Ralph Rashid, U.S. Army Ret..
Ann is survived by her children, Dr. Edward Rashid and his wife, Marilyn of San Antonio, Louise Murray and her husband John of Burke, VA, Patricia Smalley and her husband Gary of Seattle, WA; seven grandchildren, Marisa Murray, John Murray, Michele Murray, Brian Rashid, Eric Rashid, Kaley Smalley and Casey Smalley; two sisters, Alba Johnson and Theresa Petiya both of Youngstown, OH.
Our mother deeply appreciated the love, support and kindness shown her by her daughter-in-law, Marilyn Rashid.
"The mother is and must be, whether she knows it or not, the greatest, strongest and most lasting teacher her children have."
Mom, the legacy of your love goes on and on and on.
