HARTFORD, Conn. — Antonina 'Ann' Uccello, the first woman to be elected a mayor in Connecticut when she won an upset victory as a Republican in Hartford in 1967, has died. She was 100. Uccello, who went on to serve in the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations, died of natural causes Sunday night at a hospital in Hartford, said Jacqueline Gustafson, who is married to Uccello's nephew, David Gustafson. 'She just had remarkable intellect, resiliency and determination,' Jacqueline Gustafson, of West Hartford, said in a phone interview Tuesday.
