Ann Dzindolet

Ann Dzindolet, 74, of Spencer and formerly of Hopkinton, passed away March 6 surrounded by her family. Born in Framingham, she was the second child of Bernard and Margaret (Molloy) Dzindolet of Ashland. She was a graduate of Ashland High School and Framingham State College. She worked at AT&T and as a librarian at the Whitinsville Library. Dedicated to tracing her family genealogy, she was a member of the Ashland Genealogical Society for several years.

Ann was a devoted daughter, sister, niece and aunt. She could be found at every birthday party, holiday or school event with a family story and a smile. She particularly loved the luncheons with her aunts and mother to celebrate the Molloy sisters’ birthdays.

She was a voracious reader and frequent moviegoer. She loved to play Scrabble and other board games with her family and friends. She was quick to make friends, and everyone who met her said she had the biggest heart.

She was preceded by her parents and her sister Deborah Jessing of Los Angeles. She is survived by sister Margaret Shaw of Fremont, California, and her four brothers, Stephen Dzindolet and wife Patricia of Hopkinton, Anthony Dzindolet and wife Rita Ann of Spencer, David Dzindolet of Marlborough, and John Dzindolet of Hollywood, Florida, and her seven nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held Friday, March 29, at 11 a.m. in the chapel of the Matarese Funeral Home, 325 Main Street, Ashland.
