Ann Ruth Zanelli

In the evening hours of April 26, 2026, heaven called home one of the most faithful servants of God’s Greatest Generation, Ann Zanelli, age 100. There she will be met with the unconditional love of the dearly departed waiting to receive her including her husband of 42 years Michael J. Zanelli, her mother Anna Elizabeth Haslett and uncle Eddie Hagan of Blytheville, AR, older brother Tommy, younger sisters Agnes, Jackie and Marie, grandson Kerry, granddaughter Anne, and countless friends whose lives she touched. She is survived by her daughters Jackie Comiskey of Gloucester, VA and Carolyn Morino, Overland Park, KS, sons Michael Zanelli Jr., Phoenix, AZ, and William Zanelli, Overland Park, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and countless friends whose lives she touched. Ann was a writer of short stories, a poet, family historian, an adventurer, a missionary, healer, volunteer, CCD teacher, Girl Scout leader, assistant Den Mother, and simply the most interesting woman in the world. In fact, The Most Interesting Man In The World once asked her to hang out but she declined because he was just too boring. Ann had enough southern charm energy to make a weeping willow laugh.
