She graduated from the University of California at 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 he died. As Ammon had failed to change his will, she was left with the bulk of his estate, estimated at USD $150 million.
On January 15, 2002, she married her boyfriend, Daniel Pelosi. Ammon's banker, J. P. Morgan, took the unusual step of challenging Generosa as co-executor of Ammon's estate, but later decided not to pursue the matter. 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 legal guardian of her and Ted's adopted twins; 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.
