Antoinette Campagna

Antoinette "Ann" M. Campagna passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Wednesday,
December 2 nd at the age of 78. Ann was born in Stuyvesant to the late Augustine Crocco and
Chancy Davi, and was the older sister of Augustine Crocco Jr. She was predeceased by her
husband of 49 years, Fred A. Campagna Jr. Ann was a dedicated mother to her beloved
daughters Laura Campagna (Kevin Meachem) and Lisa Kissane (Richard). Later in life she
spent over 15 years working for the Albany City School District, and served as APSUE
President. Ann was an active and social member of her community, donating her time to the
Albany County Women's Democratic Committee, and letting loose at the bowling leagues she
participated in at the Playdium. After retirement, Ann & Fred traveled extensively across the
United States, with their favorite stops including Cape Cod, Virginia Beach, and Jensen Beach,
Florida.
Ann took great joy from spending time with her grandchildren. She opened her heart and her
home to everyone; from running "Ding Dong" school for her grandchildren to hosting holiday
parties that are fondly recalled.
Ann will be remembered fondly as "Grandma" to Annemarie Kissane-Ranalli (Michael) &
Christopher Kissane, Rachel & Liam Meachem, and AJ & Brandon Indovina; sister in-law to
Elenita Crocco; aunt to Cara Wickham & Tina Crocco-Brown; "Nanny" to Michael Zeoli &
Josephine Delvalle; dear friend and bonus mother to Frank Zeoli, Maggie Hunt, and Mary Beth
& Ralph Indovina. A lifelong dog lover, Ann leaves behind her devoted companion, Chico.
The family extends our deepest gratitude to one of Annie's dearest friends, Linda Zeoli, for her
nearly 50 years of friendship and support.
At this time, there will be no funeral services; a memorial celebration will be scheduled in the
coming months. Those wishing to remember Ann in a special way may send a contribution to
the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, 3 Oakland Avenue, Albany, NY 12204.
