Ann Patricia Cleere

Ann P. Cleere, 92, of North Port, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on June 12, 1933, to the late John and Anne Marron, and grew up in Queens, NY.

Ann and her beloved husband, Michael “Mickey,” settled in Old Bridge, New Jersey, in April 1966, where they raised their family and built a lifetime of cherished memories. She worked as a secretary for the Old Bridge Police Chief and previously for Northeastern Airlines taking great pride in her work and friendships along the way.

Ann was the sweetest and kindest person, known for her warm smile, gentle spirit, and infectious laughter. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome and loved.

She was predeceased by her parents, her husband Michael (Mickey), her son Brian Cleere and her sister Alice Marron. She is survived by her loving family—her son Sean Cleere of North Port, Florida, daughter-in-law Dorie, granddaughter Micaela (Haley), and grandson Callahan (Jessica); her son Michael Cleere of Robbinsville, New Jersey, daughter-in-law Elizabeth, and grandson Gabriel; as well as her two sisters, Marilyn Kelly of Texas and Madeline Clark of Florida.

Ann’s greatest joy in life was her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life. She loved being their devoted “Nanny”, always eager to hear every detail about their days, accomplishments, and adventures.

She enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, including watching her favorite game shows—Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Cash Cab—and often fell asleep to Forensic Files. She had a sweet tooth for vanilla ice cream and especially vanilla milkshakes, small treats that brought her great happiness. She also treasured her lifelong friendship with her pen pal Margie from England, a bond that had grown into a lasting and meaningful friendship.

Ann will be remembered for her kindness, her warmth, and the love she gave so freely to her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A private interment will be held at Forest Green Park Cemetery in Morganville, New Jersey. The family invites you to share condolences online through Farley Funeral Home
