Ann Patricia Orsi Obituary (1941 - 2021)

Ann Patricia Orsi of Friendswood, Texas went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 14th2021 at the age of 80. Ann was a kind and loving soul who cared about everyone she met and was always willing to help anyone out. She had a quick wit and always loved to speak her mind. Ann was born in Brooklyn New York, where she met and married the love of her life, Joseph Orsi. Their fifty-eight years of marriage took them from Florida to Texas, Virginia, Colorado, New Jersey, and eventually back to settle in Texas where they continued to reside. Ann was a devoted Catholic and proud member of Mary Queen Catholic Church in Friendswood for twenty years. She loved spending time shopping and had a love of crafting that included ceramics and silk flower arrangements. Ann traveled when she could and her favorite destinations included Italy and Florida where she loved to visit Disney World and watch the Sea Turtles on the beach. Ann's proudest accomplishment was always her family. She was a wonderful mother to five children and six grandchildren who always kept her on her toes. She is survived by loving husband, Joseph Orsi II; children, Joseph Orsi III, Shannon Nolen and husband Allen, Troy Orsi and wife Sara, and Wendy Ludlow and husband Jon; grandchildren, Bradley and Brandon Nolen, Josie Orsi, Kyle and Emma Orsi, and Brady Ludlow; sisters, Donna Marino and Kathleen Ray and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. We rejoice in knowing Ann has been reunited in heaven with her daughter, Kathleen Mary who preceded her in death. In Lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Alzheimer's Association, American, Heart Association, or Clearwater Marine Aquarium in honor of Ann. The family will greet guests starting at 1:00 p.m. followed by a 2:00 p.m. Celebration of Life Memorial Mass on Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021 at Carnes Funeral Home - Texas City, Texas.
