Angela Yammarino Nugent

d. January 2, 2017

Mrs. Angela Yammarino Nugent, age 91, of Car Miles Road in Hiawassee, GA passed away in peace on January 2nd, 2017 at her home with her son and daughter-in-law by her side following extended battles with COPD, breast cancer, stroke and falls.

Angela Nugent was born on September 7, 1925 in Buffalo, NY. She is the 1st daughter, 2nd sibling of the late Lucy and Frank Yammarino from Bari, Italy and is preceded in death by her brothers Peter and Vincent Yammarino. Angela graduated from Erie County Community College and retired as the secretary of the Assistant Superintendent of Schools within the Florida school system after 20 plus years' service. Angela loved golf, the beach, reading and working crossword puzzles. She also loved helping people in need and had a very big heart. She was a loving single mother who gave all her time to working and caring for her son. She managed to buy a home in upstate New York, put herself through school and raise a son all while being single in the 50's, 60's and 70's. In the 80's following her parents, she moved to south Florida where she lived until 2005 when she moved up to Hiawassee to help her son and daughter-in-law open and run a bed and breakfast. She loved happy hours at the Inn and would entertain guests for hours. Angela enjoyed some travel after retiring and would have loved living her final days in Italy. As an Italian she hated Italian food and could NOT cook at all. Christmas and other large holidays were her favorite time of the year and she loved reminiscing about family gatherings of olden days. Angie loved her wine and had a glass or two nightly. She said "It's what keeps you young!"

Angela is survived by her sister, Lorraine Hearn of Pataskala, OH; son, David W. Nugent of Hiawassee, GA; grandson, Christian R. Dolan of Sunrise, FL; nephew, Vincent Yammarino of California; niece, Debbie Cannon (Hearn) of Tennessee; niece, Judith Hearn of Pataskala, OH; nephew, Frances Yammarino PHD of Binghamton, NY; and Elaine Yammarino of Fort Lauderdale, FL., Muggz, Weber and Brother kittie buddies and a number of other relatives and close friends.

Angela opted not to have any funeral service on her behalf. She did not want anyone to fuss over her after she was gone. She will be cremated and returned to her son. There will be a small family get together of friends to remember and celebrate Angie's GREAT life. Time and place TBD by David Nugent. Please contact Dave for time and place.

Special thank you to Compassus Hospice for all their help and all of Angie's good and close friends who stood by her through thick and thin. Angie LOVED YOU ALL and she will be MISSED!
