Angeline Michelin 97, of Lattimer, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Lattimer, she was the daughter of Francesco and Theresa (Artuso) Falcone.
Angeline, affectionately known as "Angie" or "Granny," graduated from Hazle Twp. High School with the class of 1944.
She was a devout member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Lattimer, where she was actively involved in the Christian Mothers and more recently at the Queen of Heaven Parish at Our Lady of Grace Church.
Throughout her career, she was employed locally in retail, where she enjoyed putting a smile on customer's faces.
Granny's greatest joy was cooking and baking for her extended family, with her kitchen table becoming the heart of many Sunday and holiday gatherings. She was also an avid gardener, spending countless hours tending to her plants. However, above all, her greatest pride and joy was her family.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Primo Michelin; brothers and sisters, Paul, Lawrence and Nat Falcone; sisters, Pauline Giarrizzi, Frances Yelo, Catherine Yelo, Rose Cerrito, Theresa Yaniga; and twin sister, Anne Beccone.
Angeline is survived by her loving children, Robert and his wife, Sandra Michelin, Hazleton; Mary Beth and her husband, James Joseph, Hazleton; and Joseph and his wife, Lori Michelin, Newtown; cherished grandchildren, Amber Joseph; James and his wife, Sarah Joseph; Bret and his wife, Alyssa Joseph; David Michelin; Matthew Michelin; and Joseph Michelin; Angie was blessed with three great-grandchildren, James Pasco Joseph, Isabel Angeline Joseph and Bryce William Joseph; and many nieces and nephews.
Her legacy of love, family and community will live on through the many lives she touched. Angie (Granny) will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Our Lady of Grace Church at Queen of Heaven Parish.
Interment will follow in the parish cemetery.

Dearest Bobby, Mary Beth and Joseph, as well as your spouses, children and grandchildren~ We loved your Momma, we fondly called Aunt "D-angie" and all our warm, wonderful times together with family. Now your sweet Momma is united with her sisters and brothers and I can see the line up photo in my mind.
God has given us many years of the best memories of my childhood from Lattimer Mines and Hazleton. I thank God for the joyful family reunions we have had and the ones we will have in eternity with Our Lord.
God bless and comfort you, always. I thank God for how He made your Momma and the legacy of her life.
With all my love and prayers,
Paula
