Panarese, Angela “Auntie Angie” of Chelsea, left this world on February 9, 2021. She was 97 and died peacefully at home surrounded by family. Angela was a lifelong resident of Chelsea and graduated Chelsea High class of '41.
Angela loved and cared for her Essex St community, she was always there to help a neighborhood family, and was a devout catholic in the St Rose congregation.
She worked professionally, traveled the world and was an expert seamstress. Auntie Angie could make or mend anything!  In retirement she volunteered her quilting skills to local fundraisers and the Chelsea Senior Center.
She is survived by her devoted sister Ida Rudolph of Chelsea. She is pre-deceased by her brother Genaro and wife Virginia, sister Philomena (Tibaudo) and husband Albert, of Lynnfield Mass.
Angela was the Beloved “Auntie” to 27 nieces and nephews across generations. And she played a big role in our family life.
She is lovingly remembered for her renowned frugality as well as her caring generosity and of course, her homemade Ravioli.
