Angela Sepielli Obituary

On April 26th, Angela Sepielli, of Woodland Hills, CA passed away at the age of 89 surrounded by loved ones. She is survived by four of her beloved children. She was a loving grandmother to nine grandchildren and a cherished 'Lil Gram' to eight great grandchildren.

Angela was born in 1925 and grew up in Niagara Falls where she met her late husband Silvio "Tim" Sepielli. She was known for her life long love of art, design and fashion. In her twenties, she took up modeling. Angela had a poised and dazzling way about her which shined through the camera. She was proud of her Italian heritage and her fiery Sicilian strength was to be admired.

Angela touched the lives of many people. We will always hold dear the memories of her hospitality when cooking for us, and the generosity of her knitting or crocheting a blanket to keep us warm and cozy. We remember with delight the companionship of watching a football game and her rooting with as much vigor as the coach. We will miss her review of books she has read. We will remember the enjoyment she had of playing peek-a-boo with her great grandchildren and the encouragement she showed for us to follow our dreams.

We adore the thoughtfulness and love behind her design of a piece of jewelry, and relish the fact that everyone will ask about it. We will reminisce about her competitive nature of playing board games and always winning with a slight and subtle smile of victory. We'll miss her unyielding stance on an issue she felt was right. We will look back and remember simply discussing her love of the arts and her encouragement to exploring our creativity.

Angela was a creative forward thinking woman. She was and remains such an inspiration. Everything she wanted to do or learn she set her mind to it and mastered it all. She will be missed incredibly.

At her request, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, we kindly suggest a donation to "Death with Dignity' in her honor. http://www.deathwithdignity.org/

Dear Sonny,

I've just found out about your Mom and wanted to add a note to say I have fond memories of her and your Dad. I remember how they opened their home to me for many wonderful meals. Know that I am thinking about you and your family during this holiday, which will be bittersweet, I am sure.

Dear Tim, Sylvia, Kim and Sonny...I just heard about your beautiful Mom's passing. She gave me the gift of friendship as we cooked side by side in Reno in 1977-78 when Tim was our housemate. I stilll cherish your cookbooks. Peace be with you all.

We are so sorry to learn of the passing of Angela Sepielli. We are friends of her daughter, Sylvia. When reading the obituary and looking at the beautiful photo, we could see the physical and spiritual resemblance...definitely the same DNA.

Our thoughts are with Sylvia and family. We hope the memories of your mother bring you comfort. We know how much you loved her and how devoted you were. It's wonderful that you had so much quality time especially right to the end...you should have peace of mind and no regrets.

Many healing wishes are being sent to you and the family.

Your friends...Judy Singer & Patty Monteson

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Angela did as the wise King Solomon stated, " ...there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during their life also that everyone should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all his hard work. It is a gift from God." Friends and family benefited because she did just so. May the family continue to be enriched by her memories and contibutions she left behind. Ecclesiastes chapter three and verses twelve and thirteen.
