Angelo Mangos

Beloved father, brother, and friend, Angelo Mangos, 84, of Lutz, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2025. Angelo was born in Mytilene, on the island of Lesbos, Greece, to Christos and Kleonike (Nakitas) Mangos. The Mangos family arrived in America in the mid-1940s and settled in Lynn, MA.

Angelo served four years in the U.S. Army, serving in Germany for a time. He graduated from Suffolk University with a B.S. in Botany and also attended Harvard Extension School. Most of his career was spent as a USDA Produce Inspector. Along the way, Angelo met his (late) wife Yvonne LeBlanc and they raised their children in Swampscott, MA. Later, Angelo met and became engaged to his (late) fiancée Selena Larkin and together they moved to Florida.

Angelo enjoyed being a Freemason and served as the 1985 Master of the Amicable Lodge in Cambridge, MA. He also enjoyed cooking, dining out, and horse racing. Those who knew Angelo best said that "Horse racing was the sport of kings, for a king of a man."

Angelo is survived by his daughters Nikki, Maria, and Ginny; brother Charles Mangos and sister-in-law Nancy; brother Harry Mangos; step-granddaughter Jessica; step-grandson Jack; caretaker and friend Saundra; multiple grandchildren and great grandchildren; nieces/nephews and great nieces/nephews; dear friends; and other family.
