Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on January 14, 1941, to Dominick and Lucy Tatulli, Angela graduated from Demarest High School in Hoboken. She spent most of her adult life in Secaucus, New Jersey, where she raised her family and became a cherished member of the community.
Angela was a longtime employee of the Secaucus Public School system and was known for her dedication, kindness, and generous spirit.
Above all, Angela treasured her family. She took immense pride in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and cherished every opportunity to spend time with them, especially family trips to Disney. She eagerly anticipated the holidays and took great joy in showering those she loved with gifts. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Angela’s generosity extended to friends and family alike.
