Angela Pantano

Angela Pantano (née D’Alessio), 50, of Verona, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2023, surrounded by her loving family, after a long and courageous battle against cancer, which lasted more than 14 years.   Raised in Union, New Jersey, Angela moved to Mountainside and is a 1990 graduate of Jonathan Dayton High School, located in Springfield, New Jersey.  Angela is a 1994 graduate of Seton Hall University. Upon graduation, Angela worked for State Farm Insurance Company where she embarked on a 28-year career, which only recently concluded in April of this year.  Angela loved her work and had many other interests.  She loved to garden, read, decorate and antique, but mostly she loved spending time with her children, family and her legion of friends. Angela is an inspiration to everyone that knew her and she will be sorely missed.
