Angela Ruggiero, “Angie” (nee Canfora) age 96 of Lincoln Park and Formerly of Jersey City, NJ.
She was born in Jersey City where she lived most of her life. Angela lived in Hollywood, Florida for six years, then returned to New Jersey, residing in Toms River and Bayville, NJ. Her formal education was at Dickinson High School graduating with the Class of 1935.
Her first work was as a secretary and bookkeeper in Tumulty's Real Estate and Insurance in Jersey City. She had also worked as an assistant to a lawyer, an insurance broker, and for the Jersey City Planning Board as a secretary. While living in Florida, she worked for the Hollywood Florida newspaper.
Her finest life dedication was to her family where she reined as a wonderful, caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was filled with wisdom that she shared with all family members, and always offered her guidance, wherever it was needed. She held position of secretary for the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Moose Lodge of Jersey City and was also a member of the Dante’ Alighieri.
The arrival of Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren where a very important highlight in her life and she loved them with all of her heart.
Thanks mom and grandma for being so special in our lives.
Her Roman Catholic faith was important to her and she made it a practice to say the Rosary daily.
One day she was at work in Jersey City and a handsome fellow came in on business. His name was Fred Ruggiero. They were smitten and had a one year courtship and married on October 3, 1937. They never called each other by name it was always “Hon”. The result was they had almost fifty-six years of being “two peas in a pod” with everything they did. They enjoyed dancing, shows, and many social events. They especially loved to travel within the U.S. and Europe. They shared a loving marriage together until Fred’s passing in June of 1993.
Surviving are two daughters; Caroline Statile and her husband Sal of Whiting, Josephine Tartaglia-Zecca and her husband Louis of Wayne, one son James Ruggiero and his wife Gail of Belford, NJ, four grandchildren; Michael Statile and his wife Lorraine, Vincent Statile and his wife Kathy, Philip Tartaglia and his wife Jennifer, and Annemarie Sico, seven great grandchildren; Jennifer, Alyssa, Michael, Daniel and Gabriella Statile, Sabrina Tartaglia, and Mikayla Sico. She was predeceased by her parents; Pasqual and Giuseppina Confora, her husband Fred in 1993, by her son-in-law; Phil Tartaglia in 1984, and sadly by her grandson Anthony Statile in 2008.
