Eleanor Ann Angelucci, 90, passed on to Heaven at 10:10 p.m. on April 4, 2022.

She was born on Aug. 18, 1931, in Ellwood City to the late Angelo S. Conforti and Maria Josephine Figliomeni Conforti.

Ellie grew up in the West End neighborhood of Ellwood City with her parents (who were immigrants from Italy) and 12 brothers and sisters.

Ellie was proud to be an "Ellwoodian" and always considered Ellwood City to be home.

She liked to playfully debate with her husband, Fonce, as to which Ellwood City neighborhood was better: West End or North Side? As a grade school student at Park Gate Elementary School, she was asked to serve as an interpreter for new parents and students who only spoke Italian. Ellie could speak both English and Italian all of her life, frequently conversing in Italian with her sisters over the phone or in conversation.

Ellie met her beloved Alfonso "Fonce" at Weisz's Diner in Ellwood City, where she worked as a waitress. They wed in 1952.

She is survived by four children, Daniel Angelucci (Rose) of Pittsburgh, Monica Kraus (Hans) of Shenango Township, Samuel Angelucci (Catherine) of New Castle and Alfonso "Butch" Angelucci (Holly) of Ellwood City. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren, whom the sun rose and set upon, Eric Kraus (Becca) of Dover, Delaware, Carina Jenkins (Michael) of Hampton, Virginia, Alexa Angelucci of Pittsburgh, Adam Angelucci of Pittsburgh, Luke Angelucci of Ellwood City, Mallory Angelucci of Slippery Rock, Reed Angelucci of Ellwood City and Samantha Angelucci of New Castle; and one great-granddaughter, Rosina Kraus. She is also survived by four sisters, Aurora Hampton of Ellport, Octavia Stoyanoff of Ellport, Rose Marie Nocera of Ellwood City and Norma McAllister of Perry Township.

Ellie was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Alfonso F. Angelucci, who passed away on May 17, 2021; a son, Paul Matthew, who passed away three days after her husband on May 20, 2021; five sisters, Gloria Kalbfleisch, Beatrice Miller, Lucy Harden, Peggy Shea and Alba Reagan; and three brothers, Edward Conforti, Ralph Conforti and Cosmo Conforti.
