She was a 1941 graduate of East High School. In 1942, Mrs. Sosnowski was employed as an assistant buyer at Strouss Department Store in downtown Youngstown. She met her husband, John, in the department store, following his return from the war. Ann would work for them until her marriage on September 20, 1947.

Mrs. Sosnowski enjoyed bowling and belonged to the Women's Seniors at the Holiday Bowl and the Charter Mixed League at Camelot Lanes. Her other interests included dancing, polka music, playing cards, scrabble, traveling, and going on bus trips.
She will be forever missed by her son, John Sosnowski of Poland; two daughters, Karen Bundy and Joanie (Kim) Smith, both of Canfield; and five grandchildren, Jason (Eileen) Bundy, Megan Bundy, Jessica and Audrey Smith, and Kate Sosnowski.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two sisters, Mary and Christine Basista; and four brothers, Joseph, John, Martin, and Stephen Basista.
