THERESE ANGELIS Obituary
81, of Mashpee, passed on September 3, 2013 surrounded by her loving family. Therese, affectionately known as Reesie, was born to the late Edward and Theresa Donohoe of Dorchester, MA on April 6, 1932. She attended Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Brighton and Chandler Secretarial School in Boston. Reesie met and married the late Frank Angelis with whom she shared 54 happy years. Reesie was the loving mother of 6 children: son James Angelis and his wife Theresa, son Stephen Angelis and his wife Karen, daughter Carole Mastendino and her husband Jeffery, son Bruce Angelis and his wife Dina Beth, daughter Kristen Monahan and her husband Philip, and son Frank David Angelis and his wife Debra. Reesie was also the proud grandmother of 16 wonderful grandchildren. After raising their family in Medfield, Frank and Reesie retired and made their home in New Seabury, where they enjoyed over 20 years with extended family, long-time friends and great new friends. In addition to her family, Reesie was involved in Christ the King parish, The Women's Club of New Seabury, The Red Hats, a wonderful bridge club, and many other activities that kept her busy. Anyone who met Reesie met a true angel of this earth, someone who never met a stranger and was the most kind-hearted, generous soul. Although we will all miss her tremendously, we know she is in a better place with the man she loved, and we will cherish the many wonderful years we had with her. Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life beginning with visiting hours on Sunday, September 8th from 2-5PM in the Chapman Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, 74 Algonquin Avenue (Route 151), Mashpee, MA.

Reesie was unique in every way. I will miss her, but will think of her wit and the laughs we had over the years.

Reesie was my "soul sister", the holder of my secrets, the guardian of my mother in her old age, the one I treasured most as cousin. Her family were "my family".
I am grateful to her for all the love and goodness she shared with me. Love, Mary Lou (S. Mary Grace,d.c.)
