Angela Serritella

On January 2, 2021 our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Angela Serritella was called home to join her husband, Carmen who preceded her in 1974. She joins many family members and countless friends who have gone home before her … she would have been 95 on March 21st. 

While we mourn her loss, Angela was looking forward to going home to be with her Lord as her work here on earth was done.

Her journey through life is legendary.  Angela married Carmen on October 21st 1946 in Chicago, IL, celebrating their reception at the Lions Club. Shortly after, they left Chicago and came to California for their honeymoon. They stayed in the Golden State where they raised 2 daughters and built a successful nationwide business and a beautiful life together. 

She made a name for herself in the garment industry by co-creating Figurettes, Inc. in 1967.  She became well-known for creating the spiral bra and marabou lingerie items for Frederick’s of Hollywood. Her business brought her to all 50 states and to places few civilians were allowed – Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station. She was passionate about working with women who had suffered thru breast cancer and who had specialty needs. Angela felt it was her calling to help women feel confident and beautiful…a calling she fulfilled until her retirement at 75. She by no means slowed down during her retirement – her love of traveling brought her abroad on several trips with her friends and she would often say that her trip to Israel would always be her most cherished.

Her love for people and helping them create their own business is still evident today by the friends she leaves behind.

Angela will be dearly missed by her family and friends who will be ever thankful to have known and loved such a special and beautiful person. 

She leaves behind daughters Lu and Fran; son-in-law Stan; grandkids Angela, Christopher, Lisa, Michael, Stephen, and Stacie; great-grandkids Michael Jacob, Joshua, Briseis, and Nicholas.
