Angeline F. Ross 1926-2021

The daughter of Michael and Lucille Amicone Trombetta and a lifelong area resident, she was born Jan. 16, 1926, in Youngstown.

Angeline was a graduate of East High School and began her career working at General Electric, followed by employment at Youngstown State University in the records department until pursuing being a proud homemaker and the matriarch for her family.

Angeline had unconditional love for her family and they were always her top priority. The light of her life was her granddaughter, Nikki; she never missed any of her activities.

Angeline also was an excellent cook; her family will miss all her fabulous Italian dishes, but especially her stuffed peppers and artichokes.

Angeline married the love of her life and high school sweetheart, Anthony J. “Tony” Ross, on Nov. 25, 1948, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church; they celebrated 55 years of marriage together before his passing on Dec. 15, 2003.

Angeline was a member of St. Brendan Church and attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica.

Angeline enjoyed her flowers and having beautiful hanging baskets, shopping, going to lunch and socializing. She loved animals and was a great listener along with having impeccable fashion style. She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.

Angeline left to cherish her loving memory her daughter, Angela (Thomas W.) Petrarca of Canfield; her beloved granddaughter, who was the light of her life, Nicole “Nikki” Petrarca; and her sister, Ann Lofaro; along with many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Besides her parents and her husband, Anthony “Tony” J. Ross, Angeline was preceded in death by her sister, Connie Warino.

Angeline’s family wishes to express appreciation to all that are offering condolences at this time, including her caregivers, doctors and nurses, but the family have elected to have private services due to the continued outbreak of the coronavirus; they were held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica with the Very Rev. Msgr. Michael Cariglio as officiant.

Entombment took Place in Calvary Cemetery, Youngstown.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the professional care of the Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home, 4221 Market St., Boardman.

In lieu of flowers, material contributions may be made in Angeline’s name to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica, 343 Via Mount Carmel, Youngstown, OH 44505, or to Animal Charity, 4140 Market St., Boardman, OH 44512.
