Ann Bellile Obituary

Ann "Annie" Galgano Bellile, 67, left her battle with a relentless force on February 6, 2023 to begin her new journey where she will guide "Hearts" again to the best concerts, music and Fun with her unconditional LOVE. Born to Ursula and Tony Galgano, November 14, 1955 at Garfield Park Community Hospital in Chicago, Annie woke up each birthdate at 2:16 AM wherever she was in the world and gave thanks for her friends and family she considered gifts and asked for guidance in the coming year to be the best person she could be. From the beginning Annie was Special, she was "Born with her 2 Front Teeth". Annie began her magical journey of learning, growing and flourishing in Elmwood Park, lL. She loved to be with her Mom Ursula in the garden or kitchen, which quickly evolved to Marshall Fields, l-Magnim, Neiman Marcus, and Saks. Limo trips to Oak Street with Ursula and her "Sister" Bettye Galgano were special times that brought some of the most joy to her heart. In her early years, Annie found any reason to gather her friends and go to Galgano Distributing's warehouse to be close to her Dad and Brother and if they were lucky, score great concert tickets! After graduating from Northern lllinois University Annie worked for Estee Lauder as an Account Executive and then shortly later began a venture with her "Rock" selling Quality Leather apparel. Fortunately, Don was able to convince Annie after many years to join him in the Health lnsurance Industry and their business Secure Care began. lf you wanted something done, Annie was the one that would make it happen. Secure Care never had a client only good friends needing guidance and Annie was always there to light the way. If you had not been to one of "Annie's Parties"... Why Not? Travel filled all of her years and the love of adventure created lasting memories for all who loved her and shared her life. Annie is survived by her "Solmate" Donnie Bellile; her siblings, John (Bettye) Galgano, Tianna Galgano, Barbara Galgano, Renate Galgano as well as beloved nieces, nephews, godchildren, cousins and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Anthony and Ursula Galgano, her brother Peter Hall, her nephews Michael Kander and John Galgano Jr and Sister-in-law Kathy Berresheim. For those who would like to leave a lasting tribute to Ann's life, memorial donations may be directed to Environmental Defense Fund. Visitation Sunday, February 19, 1:00-4:00 PM at the Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 44 S. Mill St., Naperville. A Celebration of Ann's life will follow at 4:00 PM.
