A private family Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Wisconsin Dells with Father Eric Sternberg celebrating.

Ann was born April 2, 1942 in Rockford, Illinois the daughter of Jasper and Kathryn (Lentine) Gulotta. She attended St. Patrick's Elementary and Muldoon High.

Ann and Jeffrey T. Gissal were married on April 24th, 1965 during a spring snowstorm in Rockford, Illinois. Their love weathered the storm and they celebrated their 57th Wedding Anniversary this year. Together, they lived in Rockford, Roscoe and Medford up until 1986 when they moved to Wisconsin Dells, the hometown of Jeff where he currently still resides. Ann worked for the Wisconsin Dells School District and Bobber's Restaurant as a bookkeeper until she finally retired in 2019. Ann enjoyed reading, cooking, and spending time with her family. Her favorite place to travel was Las Vegas. She had a strong presence, beautiful smile and heart of gold. She will be tremendously missed by many.

Ann was a supermom, the rock and compass of her family but also the "pseudo" mother to so many others throughout the years. Her thoughtful nature was impeccable. From a welcome home plant, to a card, or a loving text, she always seemed to have the perfect something for everyone. She was a dedicated mother to her five children and their spouses, and she especially loved being "Nana." The special relationships she formed with each and every one of her 9 grandchildren will forever be cherished by them. She loved to spend all holidays with her loved ones and was always the key to getting her large family together. Her superior cooking skills shined brightest on her favorite holiday, Christmas Eve. The spread included her famous spaghetti and meatballs, raviolis, and delicious cannoli.

Ann is survived by her loving husband, Jeffrey of Wisconsin Dells, WI; children and grandchildren, Jeffrey (Susan) /Carly, Caitlyn, Callee Gissal of Baraboo, WI, Marci (Jeff) /Max, JT Morris of Wisconsin Dells, WI; Tina Gissal of Wisconsin Dells, WI; Stephanie Gissal /Matthew and Jakob Crull of Wisconsin Dells, WI and Alex (Steffanie) /Lily, Bennett Gissal of Belleville, WI.
