Angela Melillo
Warren BOE secretary and devoted caretaker; her family enjoyed her great sense of humor and skill as an Italian cook
Angela Melillo, 90, of Basking Ridge, N.J., went to be with the Lord after a battle against cancer on June 4, 2019, at her home in Basking Ridge. She was born on Aug. 4, 1928, to Nicholas and Anna Mostello in Newark, N.J.
She married Matthew in 1947, with whom she had four sons. She attended Barringer High School and worked for the government during the war. In 1952 the family left the city and moved to Warren, N.J., where they happily raised their boys.
Angela was secretary to the Warren Board of Education. In this position she worked diligently for the right to a proper education for the handicapped. Her devotion in the care of her son, Matthew, enabled her to think beyond the existing programs available for the handicapped and develop new frontiers in this area of New Jersey.
She was a communicant at Our Lady of the Mount for 65 years. She was a devoted caretaker to her late husband and son. Her family enjoyed her sense of humor and skill as an excellent Italian cook and baker. In later years, her greatest joy was spending time with her eight great-grandsons who always made her laugh heartily.
Angela was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Matthew, her parents, her brother, Patrick, and her first-born son, Matthew.
She has left behind her adoring family, Gary and Sharon, Thomas and Sue, Mark and Karen, and her best friend and sister, Ann Ciufo. She also had nine grandchildren and eight great-grandsons.
