She graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 1981, and moved to New York to be an artist. She met Ammon when she called him after he failed to keep an appointment for an apartment she was to show him; they married in 1986. They were about to finalize their divorce when was found beaten to death. As Ted had failed to change his will, Generosa inherited the bulk of his estate, estimated at USD $150 million.
On January 15, 2002, she married her boyfriend, Daniel Pelosi, an unlicensed electrician whom she met when he, literally, showed up at the doorstep of her Manhattan townhouse because he was told she was hiring workers for a remodeling job. Ammon's bank, J. P. Morgan, took the unusual step of challenging Generosa as co-executor of his estate. While dying of breast cancer, she was offered immunity from prosecution to testify against Pelosi before a grand jury, but refused.
She cut Pelosi out of her estate, but gave him USD $2 million for legal expenses.
Generosa appointed her nanny, KATHRYN ANN MAYNE, legal guardian of her and Ted's adopted twins ALEXA SVETLANA AMMON and GREGORY RUSLAN AMMON. She bequeathed her home 59 Middle Lane, East Hampton, New York 11937 to Kathryn to raise the twins in. However in 2005 full custody was awarded to his sister.
Pelosi was convicted of Ted Ammon's murder in 2004.
Generosa was played by Poppy Montgomery in the 2005 TV-movie Murder in the Hamptons.
