Angela H. Piazza (nee Guarcello), 97, died on June 21, 2022. She remains in the heart of her husband of 76 years, Salvatore I. Piazza, Sr. Angela was a devoted mother to her sons and daughters-in-law: Salvatore, Jr. and Laura Piazza; Paul and Judi Piazza; Michael and Debbie Piazza; and Robert and Linda Piazza. She cherished – and was cherished by – her nine grandchildren and their partners, and 16 great-grandchildren.
Our mom was the only daughter of Concetta and Santo Guarcello, and sister to Peter, Paul, Anthony, and Joseph Guarcello. She was born and raised in Tuckahoe, NY where, following her mother’s death, she left high school early to care for her father and brothers. As a teenager, she met and later married her man in Army uniform. She raised – and fed – four ravenous boys over whom she watched with slightly more zeal than her Hummel’s. She was happiest in the kitchen preparing large family meals. Cooking with spritzes, not measuring spoons, her home cooking was more art than science: ravioli, pasta sauce, schneckens, Easter pies, pizza frittes, and ice cream cakes. The kitchen would also be her dance floor for any kind of music. She loved her job at the Patterson, NY library, was an avid shopper, enjoyed traveling, and could miraculously rejuvenate any potted plant.
Family will receive friends on Monday, July 18, from 10AM-11AM at Christ the King Catholic Church, 2777 E Livingston Ave. A service of Christian burial to follow at 11AM. Burial will take place immediately following the service at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, Saint Joseph Cemetery, 6440 S High St, Lockbourne, OH.
In lieu of flowers, visitation, or donations, please fondly remember her over a home-cooked meal with your family and a glass of wine. That’s what we’re going to do. Cheers!
