Joann Angulo

In loving memory of an extraordinary woman, Joann Angulo. Born December 2, 1962, in Union City, New Jersey, to Angelica Cruz and Jose Celson Angulo; and passed June 14, 2023.
South Bronx raised, her fierce spirit and strength helped her navigate adversity and the challenges of life, nurturing her family with boundless compassion, love, and faith. Her resilience was a testament to her character, facing each day with courage and love. She epitomized the essence of family, reminding us that it's more than blood by embracing others as her own.
Joann enjoyed writing, shopping, cooking, salsa and gospel music, and immersing herself in bible verses. Yet her greatest delight came from sharing precious moments with her beloved family and her fur baby, Moonie.
Joann is survived by her only son, Dominick Giovanni Todisco, daughter-in-law Elizabeth, her beloved grandchildren Roman Eli, Anaiah Marie, and Giovanni Dominick Todisco, her partner of 13 years, Melvin Bishop, niece Lannette Rios, sister Vivian Torres, and half-brother Jose Angulo.
She will be reunited in eternal peace with both parents, her sister, Evelyn, and brother, Alan.
Though she may be physically absent, her spirit will forever guide and inspire those whose lives she profoundly touched. May her memory be a blessing; and may her legacy of love and strength continue to flourish in the hearts of all those she held dear. We bid farewell to an amazing and strong mother, grandmother, sister, partner, and friend, who touched lives and taught us the meaning of family.
