Ann M. Ahern, a life-long New Yorker, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2021. She was 88. 

Ann is survived by her brother John Ahern (Violet), and sisters Joan Trank and Maureen Reynolds (Hugh); her cousin and dearest friend Mary Chris McCarthy and the entire McCarthy Family; her nieces and nephews Sean Ahern (Donna) and Brian Ahern (Maria); JoAnn Presky, Mary Trank and Eileen Sheehan (John); John Reynolds (Nancy), Ann Marie Streeter (Paul); Michael Reynolds (Meg) and Maureen Reynolds; and numerous great nieces and nephews. 

Ann is predeceased by her mother Josephine (nee O’Halloran), her father John, her brother Michael, her cousin Thomas McCarthy, her sister-in-law Frances Ahern, her brother-in-law Thomas Trank and her beloved cousin and friend Rev. Patrick Carroll. Ann also leaves behind many wonderful friends who speak fondly of long lunches and dinners in New York City, and of long phone conversations across the miles. Ann cherished and celebrated her Irish heritage and gathered friends and family on the same corner of Fifth Avenue for half a century to joyfully watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Uncle Michael and Aunt Aileen O’Halloran--the last of Ann’s parent’s generation--will miss Ann, as will the many O’Halloran cousins. 

Ann began working at Chase Manhattan Bank in 1950--right out of Cathedral High School. When Ann retired after 47 years, she was a Vice President of Corporate Human Resources. Along the way, she attended Fordham University at night and earned her Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. In 1992, Ann was an Excalibur Award Honoree at Chase for her contribution to the Employee Assistance Program: “A dedicated Chase employee for more than four decades, she has always been there for colleagues and has been a trusted counselor at the E.A.P., drawing on her broad knowledge and deep compassion to guide employees and their families through tough and sometimes wrenching personal problems.” 

Throughout her career and after retirement, Ann was at heart a compassionate case worker, helping so very many people through the decades find jobs, housing, and hope. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Catholic Charities of New York, where case workers like Ann continue the work of helping people build better lives for themselves and their families: Catholic Charities, Office of Development, 11th Floor, 1101 First Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or online at catholiccharitiesny.org.
