Angeline Vitello (nee Nigro), on November 21, 2017, presently of Washington Twp., NJ, originally from Philadelphia and Bridlewood Estates in Sewell, NJ. Age 98. Beloved wife and soul mate of Joseph for 76 years. Devoted mother of Joanne Zappile (Albert), Joseph, Jr. (Barbara), Elaine Vitello and the late Joseph Leon. Loving grandmother of Jennifer Colvin, Michele Chittum, Melissa Booth, Joseph A. Vitello, and Christina Manfredi. Proud great-grandmother of 10. Dear sister of Mary Nigro. She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
My parents love for one another was right out of the fairytales. Few are
fortunate to have a love that is so strong. As our mother’s health declined
due to Alzheimer’s, we knew it was breaking our father’s heart to see his
“bride’s” (as he called her) memories slip away. He, however, sacrificed his
own well-being and spent every single day – all day, sitting next to her,
holding her hand, kissing her, telling her stories of their lives, in the
hopes of a brief glimpse of their devoted love from her. Even at his age of
100 years, our dad constantly still said how he missed having her sleep next
to him, holding hands with her head on his shoulder. They were inseparable.
Our parents loved to dance. Many times we would even find them dancing in
the kitchen. She loved Dean Martin, he loved Frank Sinatra but their
most favorite song to dance to was “Blue Spanish Eyes” by Al Martino. At
all the grandchildren’s weddings we were sure to hear that song and their
movements on the dance floor were so in sync that it was breathtaking.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing Saturday 9:30 – 11:00 AM at the Church of the Holy Family, 226 Hurffville Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 11:15 AM. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery, Yeadon, PA.
