In Loving Memory of Theresa F. Cangialosi

March 20, 1930 – November 7, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Theresa F. Cangialosi who left us peacefully on November 7, 2025, at the age of 95 after a courageous battle with cancer.

She faced every challenge with grace and strength, never once complaining of pain or discomfort. To all who knew her, she was a true rockstar-full of warmth, wit, and resilience.

She was predeceased by her devoted husband, Tony Cangialosi, who passed away in 1994. She is survived by her brother Joseph and loving children: eldest daughter Joan and son-in-law James, daughter Janet and son-in-law Frank, her "favorite son" Anthony and her "favorite daughter her baby" Theresa and daughter-in-law Julie.

She was deeply proud of her eight grandchildren- Brian, Stephanie, Michelle, Lia, Kayla, Jessica, Danielle, and Briana -and adored her nine great-grandchildren- Aidan, Nellie, Stella, Ariana, J.D., Landon, Killian, Leo, and the newest addition, Vivianna -who brought her endless joy and laughter.

She loved the simple pleasures of life- a trip to the casino, a bowl of ice cream, and her favorite game shows -and she filled every room with her infectious smile and kind heart.

Though she will be dearly missed, her love, traditions, and joyful spirit will live on through all who were blessed to know her. Her family takes comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her beloved Tony, smiling down on them all.

A private celebration of her life will be held for her immediate family per her wishes, to honor a life well lived and a woman well loved.
