Giuseppa
Cangelosi
Mar 20, 1927 — Aug 5, 2025
Giuseppa "Pina" Cangelosi, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on August 5, 2025, at the age of 98. Born on March 20, 1927, in Cefalù, Sicily, Giuseppa brought warmth, strength, and joy to all who knew her.
In 1949, she married the love of her life, Natale Cangelosi. Together they shared 61 beautiful years of marriage until Natale's passing in 2011. Their bond was a testament to enduring love and partnership.
Giuseppa worked for Coronet Coat Company, which later became Youth Craft Coat Company, where she was known for her dedication and strong work ethic. Outside of work, she found joy in cooking, cleaning, and caring for her family—always putting their happiness above all else. Her home was a place of comfort, filled with delicious meals and loving energy.
She cherished her family deeply and found happiness in the simple pleasures of life, including her occasional visits to the casino, which brought her a sense of fun and adventure.
Giuseppa's legacy lives on in the hearts of her siblings, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all who were fortunate to know her. Her unwavering love, generosity, and spirited nature will be remembered always.
She was preceded in death by husband Natale Cangelosi, parents Rosario and Giuseppa Piraino, son-in-law Vincenzo D'Angelo, 2 brothers and 4 sisters.
Survivors include son Salvatore' Cangelosi, daughter Tecla Cangelosi D'Angelo, brother Vincenzo Piraino, grandchildren Natale John Cangelosi (Dixilyn), John Anthony Gant, Gaetano D'Angelo, Leonarda, Dina (Matthew) Shively, Giuseppa (Jason) Brewer, great grandchildren Marisa (Duncan) Bassham, Annina Cangelosi, Andrea Garcia, Alessandra Brewer, Guytano Brewer, Jaelyn Cangelosi, Bryce Brewer and Tyler Brewer, numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews along with two special people in her life Maria D'Angelo and Vincenza Gallina and many friends.
