Angie married her husband Nick on September 5, 1964, and together they enjoyed 61 years of marriage.

Angela was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was an excellent cook and baker, always feeding her family. Once her boys were older, she worked at the Hallmark Store and then at Strong Leather. Angie often took her grandchildren out for pizza & ice cream and for walks along the Boulevard. Occasionally she took trips to the casino. She enjoyed spending winters in Florida where she made great friends and was a member of the Imperial Villas Men's & Ladies Club of Delray Beach. She and Nick often attended social night at the clubhouse and also enjoyed playing cards regularly. Angie always looked forward to her daily walks with dear friend Nuccia Viviano.
