Sincerely a dear woman, and her sense of humor was really something to witness , and the marble games we played were pretty intense visiting her in San Diego at the old house, that dining room table had so many dents in it from the dice being tossed ! Truly a remarkable personality, she will be missed and forever loved. Godspeed Auntie ! ❤️ Danny.
Aunt Angie will forever hold a special place in my heart. From her unique laugh to the way she often used it, she was always my favorite. Both myself and my daughter cherish the special bond they formed in the last few years. I know that she will keep tabs on Ally and hopefully guide her through this world, and when the time comes, into the next.
Aunt Angie - I hope you have been reunited with uncle Tony as well as your brothers and sisters in eternal happiness.
God speed - we will love you forever!

Many years ago I made the trip from NJ to CA to see my Auntie Angie. From the moment I got there, she could not do enough for me. I remember her fantastic cooking. Of course it was Italian! Despite her painful arthritis, it didn't matter how long she had to stand to create her many delicious meals. I remember Marion and Steve coming over with a cake to celebrate her birthday and she was so surprised and happy. She never wanted us to make a fuss over her.
She learned how to use her cell phone. It was so good for us to be able to call her and talk with her. But our phone conversations were never about her. She always wanted to know how everyone was doing especially my brother Eddie. She always ended her calls with the words Baby Girl! When I heard this I felt loved. I miss her so much. But I know after this life I will see her again. And we will be with God for all eternity. Rest in peace dear Auntie, you are always in our hearts!
How do I even start for there's so much to say.
I can remember back even when we lived in NJ that whenever Aunt Angie would visit I always got so excited because she would give you such positive attention, and make me laugh. I remember her house in NJ, going there and staying a day or two. Such a nice home. When we moved to AZ she would come by and see us from California and it was always a happy time.
Frank and my sister Carmela and Marion and I were good play mates while Mama and Grandma would visit with Auntie. One summer when I was 9, I spent the summer with Auntie and family and learned how to ride a blue bike. Uncle Tony took moving pictures, as they were called then, of us kids playing in the back yard. Auntie baked a lot of cakes and pies and boy my clothes were so tight by the time Mama and Uncle Charlie, Grandma and Carm came to pick me up. Visited and back to AZ.
Mama passed away when I was 16 and I went to live with Auntie and family, they all welcomed me and I was happy. It was a good time in my life for She helped me in many ways. I was with them till I got married at 18. My first husband and I took her to see her favorite entertainer at a concert,Tom Jones. Her eyes never left him singing. For Xmas she got a Tom Jones album.
Uncle Tony, Auntie and I would play the"Marble Game" and cards almost every night when I lived with them and when I came to visit, it was cut throat!
We played to the death. Finally Uncle Tony said good night and we played longer and louder.
What fun it was with them all, and Auntie would say the funniest things, all her sayings and her laugh would make me laugh so hard. How I miss those times but will forever chase around in my heart and mind.
I know We will all see each other again in time, all those we know and love. Your home Auntie and we all love you.
She always was so loving and just full of fun and her cooking was out of this world. Her heart was big and cared for people and animals especially her cats.
She gave her All with love and understanding. Hat's off to you Auntie
Love Cathy
I have been visiting my Aunt Angie for over 40 years or more. I always enjoyed her kind spirit and her spirited laughter. She always loved her cats and when she lived in her own home she would feed stray cats and adopted a few into her home.
She was kind enough to let me park my trailer in her backyard when I lived in San Diego. When I stopped off to leave my trailer she always offered me a home cooked meal. After our meal together I would sit with her while she watched TV.
One year I drove her out to Queen Creek, Arizona to visit her brother Tony. Tony had health issues and she wanted to visit him while he was in relatively good health. I remember how excited she was when we stopped at her favorite ice cream store, Dairy Queen.She was full of tears when she had the reunion with her brother. She was so grateful to have had that opportunity to visit with him.
Angie's life was not easy, especially in her latter years. She felt isolated living in Ramona, CA, after the passing of her husband, Tony. Fortunately her daughter, Marion, lived nearby and would visit often .
The last few years were very hard for aher s she experienced the trials of old age with decreasing eyesight and hearing. Her biggest problem was back pain which prevented her from going on long walks.
I will always have warm memories of Angie. Being with her always reminded me of my mother, Mary, her sister.
Angies's body may be gone, but her spirit lives on, especially in my heart.
