On June 18, 1955, she was united in marriage to Martin DeCarolis in Mt. Carmel Church, a loving and blessed union of 63 years. Angela was an exceptional seamstress by trade. She was known for her high quality tailoring and crafting of garments and was revered by her many patrons throughout the years, many who became life-long friends. Angela was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother whose life centered around her family. She was happiest when cooking and baking Italian delicacies to be enjoyed by all. Her memory will forever live in their hearts.
