Angela Castelli

Born November 5, 1925 was 99 when she took her last breath September 14, 2025 11:30 pm would have been 100, Nov 5, 2025 …she said she had no desire to reach that and didn’t like 99 that much either. And she meant it. We used to laugh about it. Life wasn’t the same for my mother when she wasn’t able to to do all the things she loved . She felt trapped in a body that wasn’t working anymore .

She was a no nonsense lady didn’t like all the nonsense about being 99 or reaching 100. To know my mother and truly understand her was to love her and many of her friends and family did just that they marveled at her extraordinary talents, there wasn’t much that my mom couldn’t do. Mom had a difficult life but she rose to the occasion and achieved the impossible. She spoke the most beautiful Italian I loved to hear her speak with her many Italian friends . Her love of volunteering at Boca Community hospital in surgical waiting was her love, was volunteer of the month more times than I can count because of her compassion for the patients and families they loved her because she cared so much for them always going beyond to help. My mother was a masterpiece of beauty, grace ,intelligence and had compassion to all that she met. Absolutely extraordinary! Her life no matter how difficult she was relentless , she was always there for me, to love and protect me. Being w my mom at the end was the most difficult thing I have ever experienced but she experienced hardships for me. And I was going to be there with her till she took her last breath . Hardships in life and hardships in death. I can only pray that my mom which I know is in heaven with all the people she loves is handling things and would be telling me it’s beautiful and she is alright and not to worry! We would have our disagreement for sure as all mothers and daughters do but the one thing was for certain in our private life we knew we loved each other more than life. I truly miss you mom and I know we will be together again, may God bless you , and I know God is there with you on your journey holding your hand , as you told me you saw God many times with you. Love you with all my heart. Arrivederci mom❤️
