Meet Ann Angeletti, the 101-Year-Old Jewelry Entrepreneur Who Won't Retire
Meet Ann Angeletti, a remarkable 101-year-old woman who still runs her own jewelry business, Curiosity Jewelry, in Cresskill, New Jersey. Despite her advanced age, she works six days a week alongside her daughter and granddaughter, proving that age is just a number.
Angeletti's journey is one of resilience and determination. Born in Brooklyn, she left school at a young age to help her family at their grocery store. Later, during World War II, she worked at the Navy yard and then as a waitress while her husband served in the military. Her work ethic has clearly stood the test of time.
Today, Angeletti's passion for her jewelry business is evident. She believes that retiring would mean the end of her life, so she continues to work, sharing her love for her craft with her family. Her advice to those not enjoying their work is simple yet profound: find something else you would enjoy.
Ann Angeletti's story is a testament to the power of passion and purpose. At 101, she continues to run her jewelry business, inspiring those around her with her dedication and zest for life. Her advice to find joy in our work is a reminder that our careers should be more than just a means to an end.
