Ann Marie Cestaro, 85, of Main Street, Dalton, passed away October 28, 2018 at Berkshire Medical Center.

She was born in Malden, MA on August 23, 1933, the daughter of the late William and Anna Mae Murphy Moriarty. Ann attended St. Mary’s High School in Malden.

She went on to marry Arthur T. Cestaro Jr. on April 13, 1952. They recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary.

She was a communicant of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Cheshire, and was very active in the church. Her interests included sewing, traveling, and she was a devoted Boston Red Sox fan. Ann's greatest joy came from spending time with her large family.

In addition to raising and caring for her family, Ann devoted over 20 years of her life to government service, supporting the Air Force, Navy, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
