Ann Marie Konopka, 69, of 65 Cleveland Street, passed peacefully on Saturday evening, December 11, 2021 at Baystate Franklin Medical Center, following a period of declining health.

A native of Montague, MA, she was born on February 8, 1952 to Edward and Barbara (Lawless) Konopka. She resided with her family in Greenfield, MA, and attended Greenfield Public Schools. Ann was a dedicated volunteer at the Greenfield Senior Center for many years and a devout communicant of Blessed Sacrament Church in Greenfield. Ann adored her “doll babies” Lizzie and John John” who provided her joy and contentment. Ann loved balloons, candy canes (any time of the year, not just for Christmas!) visits to the Dollar Tree Store and Dunkin Donuts (where her favorite expression was “and a little something to go with it”, the holidays and receiving greeting cards for every occasion. She was a beloved member of the Hasting’s Street Home, where she was often referred to as “Sassy Ann” for her infectious, friendly and joyous nature and for her “million watt” smile that warmed the hearts of all with whom she came in contact.

Ann leaves her loving and devoted sister, Nancy Penniman (John) of Peterborough, NH, as well as her two nephews: William Talbot Penniman of Marblehead and Phillip E. Penniman (Nicole) of Wilton, CT., as well as her great nephew Rhett and great niece Eleanor.  Ann was predeceased by her loving parents, Edward and Barbara, as well as her Aunt Shirley Martin and Uncle Paul Lawless.
