Ann Laughlin Marotta was closely associated with the work of the late Sister Henrietta Gorris, CSA, whose Famicos Foundation grew out of Our Lady of Fatima Mission Center in Cleveland’s Hough neighborhood. The mission helped to feed, house and educate young children growing up in poverty. Marotta was a diligent volunteer, collecting food and delivering it to the mission. In 1979, she was among the six original board members of the Cleveland Foodbank, which supplies food to soup kitchens, shelters, food pantries and hunger centers. In 1981, the organization distributed one million pounds of food to 129 agencies; in 2012, it worked with more than 700 programs to reach underserved populations in six Ohio counties with nutrition education, benefit application assistance and the distribution of more than 35 million pounds of food. Marotta served on the advisory board of the Office on School Monitoring and Community Relations and as a trustee of the Goodrich Social Settlement. She and her husband, Vincent Marotta, established the Marotta Montessori Schools of Cleveland. A graduate of Ursuline College, she chaired fundraising benefits for Catholic Charities and St. Vincent Charity Hospital.
