Ann Solnick, born September 28th, 1944 was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who died March 13th at the age of 76 in her home with her family by her side. She was born in Manhattan, NY grew up with her sister Helen and brother Joseph. She went to Catholic school and lived her early life in the city where she met and married Bob; they had three children; Mark, Rebecca and Robert. She stayed at home to raise her kids and then worked for years as a hospital secretary. She was widowed after only 18 years of marriage. Being so close to her sister, Helen, she ventured into NJ to live closer to her family, and was a single parent raising her kids. She loved her children and sought always to help as best she could. She moved down South to Charlotte for warmer weather. Ann helped raise her grandchildren. She was especially close to Jasmine and Darren where they learned how to take care of their grandmother. Ann absolutely loved animals and would always pull in a stray cat or own different types of pets. She loved getting a chance to read crime novels, play games or talk politics. Going to church and being reverent was something you could always count on her to do. She always was sweet and pleasant to anyone she met and grateful to those who took care of her. This was a very religious woman who found the strength to endure so many painful events throughout her life while living with a pain-debilitating disease and illnesses. Ann is survived by her daughter, Rebecca and husband Malachi and children Darren, Jasmine and Jarod; her son Mark and wife Karen; and their children Ethan, Andrew and Rhyne; and her granddaughter, Maya Ann from her late son Robert. As well as her sister Helen and husband Ed; their children Mike, Chris and Sean and brother Joseph and wife Julie, their children Mary and Joe. These family members and friends throughout her life will always remember her as a strong, caring, independent woman who taught us to keep our faith when times get tough. She now gets to live in peace and be an angel for us all.
