Angelina Carpi, 91
|
Angelina Carpi (née Storino) died peacefully in her home on September 10 surrounded by her family.
She would have many jobs over her 91 years, but those she treasured most were as mom and grandma – and in those she was a master craftsperson. She carefully saved every note of “I love you” around her home, no matter how small or trivial; her candy dish was always full, no matter how many times it was raided as an after-school snack; and she often had a favorite sweater or sweatshirt folded neatly and waiting by the door because a grandchild had commented on how much they liked it. She loved playing games with her eight grandchildren: Isabella, Julia, John, Lucas, Carina, Adriano, Daniela, and Aidan. She argued that “Jo” (coffee) and “Za” (pizza) were acceptable words in bananagrams, and she would let them put up her hair in any outlandish style that they chose. She was a consummate mom – stocking pantries, making sure you had a warm jacket, and filling pockets with cough drops or tissues as needed.
