For many of the years at Liberty Market, all of Ann’s sisters worked with her, namely, Eleanor, Carmella & Lucy. Back in the seventies, eighties and early nineties, the family knew where to locate the Reppucci Girls, especially on a Saturday. (All had married and taken their marriage names), however, they were always referred to as the Reppucci Girls. Ann was also a devotee of the Immaculate Conception Parish Community, Revere , always active in the Immaculata Guild of the IC School & Maria Assunta Guild, Ann chaired the annual IC Fall Bazaar for several years. She & her late husband, Roger, he, an usher for IC & active member of the Holy Name Society, were most generous to the church, especially at the time of the building of the new
Church in 1990.
