Angela Pascazio, affectionately known as Angie, Leleen, or Zia Lena, passed away peacefully on the evening of August 15, 2025, at the age of 97.
Born into the loving family of Vincenzo and Domenica Pascazio, Angela lived a long and full life, devoted to her family and friends. Though she wasn’t married or had children of her own, she built her life around her 22 nieces and nephews, 43 great-nieces and nephews, and 18 great-great nieces and nephews, each of whom she cherished deeply.
Angela is survived by her beloved siblings, Felina, Nicollet, Gina, Anna, and her only brother Michele. She now joins in eternal peace with her parents and her sisters, Teresa, Giovanna, and Annunciata.
Angela loved each of her nieces and nephews dearly, and in the lives of Felina’s children — John (Melinda), Vince (Barbara), Michael (Karen), and Angela (Joe) — she was a second mother. She was by their side for every holiday, birthdays, and milestones, filling their lives with joy, care, and unconditional love.
For 40 years, Angela was a dedicated employee of the Blackstone Company, where she worked with commitment and pride before enjoying her well-earned retirement. Her free time was spent traveling, sharing meals, lots of wine, laughing, and offering her care to others. Always ready to babysit, lend a hand, or share a smile, she was a great cousin and friend to so many and a treasured presence in the lives of all who knew her.
Angela will be remembered for her Christmas gift wrapping, ornament organization & cookie decorating! She was generous, warm, funny and had unwavering love for her family and friends. She was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
