Angela’s family was the cornerstone of her life. She was a cherished daughter to her mother, Nancy Pessolano (Joe Davis), and her father, Thomas Pessolano (Lorraine). Her siblings, Emily Pessolano, Andrew Pessolano, Kimberly Passolano, and Tanay Anderson, shared in her creative endeavors and were often her companions in laughter and love. Angela’s step-siblings, Brienna Hubbs, Christina Corliss, Brandon Bauer, and James Simmons, added to the joy and richness of her family life. She was a beloved aunt to her nieces, Rose Strauss and Lively Mejia, whom she adored with all her heart.

Angela’s interests painted the canvas of her life with bright and joyful colors. She was an artist at heart, often found with a guitar in hand, composing melodies that reflected her soul’s depth.
