Ann Rose (DiGiuilo) Vega, 72, Meriden, passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 20, 2025. Ann will be reuniting in heaven with her late dear beloved husband of 50 years, Francisco E. Vega.

Ann was born at Long Island College Hospital on September 18, 1952 to the late Thomas and Angela Rose DiGiulio. She was raised in Brooklyn, New York with her 2 older brothers, and lived on Chester Avenue until marrying the love of her life and moving to Meriden, CT where she remained until her passing.

In addition to her parents and husband, Ann is predeceased by her deeply missed brother, Dr. Robert (Bob) C. DiGiulio, sister-in-law Christina J. DiGiulio, niece Christine A. DiGiulio, dear friend Theresa Dagiel, and many other beloved family members and friends who she deeply missed.

Vega, step-grandchildren Emilee, Tyler, and Madilyn Herzig, lifelong friend Madeline Smith, a number of godchildren, nieces and nephews, grandnieces and nephews, and great-grandnieces and nephews who will all forever remember her fondly.

After meeting the love of her life in New York City, Ann moved to Connecticut with her husband where together they raised their cherished children Kito and Angie, and later enjoyed spoiling their adored grandchildren. Ann was a loving woman of faith and was fond of The Sound of Music. When she wasn’t cooking a DiGiulio or Vega family recipe, Ann enjoyed galivanting around Brooklyn, roaming the aisles of Stew Leonard’s, or sitting on her swing with her love.
