Angela

Civitico

Angela Civitico passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on the morning of July 10, 2024.  Born in Barbariga, Istria on May 28, 1930, she developed a love for sewing at a young age. By just eight years old, she had already acquired the skills that would see her eventually work for the famous fashion house, Evan-Picone, as a highly respected fashion and pattern designer. The end of her career was spent with the esteemed Ellen Tracy fashion house.

Angela's love for sewing continued well into retirement, along with her fondness for painting and her deep affection for cooking. From tailoring a jacket from scratch to making homemade cannelloni and crostoli to painting the entire backyard in a matter of days, she had an energy unmatched by those left in awe of her ability to do it all. A loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she showered those in her presence with kindness, love and gratitude. May her legacy live on through good food, good stories and good times to come.

Angela is predeceased by her husband, Antonio Civitico, who passed in 1984 and her daughter, Luisa Vlacich, who passed in 2017. She leaves behind her granddaughter, Renata Major and her husband Paul, and grandson, Sergio Vlacich and his wife Rebecca, along with her five great grandchildren: Paulie, Tony, Michael, Santino and Angelina.
