Angelina Josephine (Migliaccio) Auletta

Angelina Josephine Auletta, 96, of Yardville, NJ, entered into her eternal rest with God on Thursday, June 29, 2023 at home. Born in Trenton, NJ, she was a lifelong area resident.  “Tinny”, as she was known to her closest friends and family, resided in her home in Yardville since 1955 and developed many friendships in her neighborhood with her bubbly personality and love of conversation.  She enjoyed hosting loved ones with a cup of tea and homemade desserts. She cherished cooking her mother’s recipes and was constantly innovating in the kitchen, sharing made-ahead meals for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren until her final days.  A family favorite was her famous chicken soup, which we all stocked in our freezers year-round. She was happiest surrounded by her family, especially in the chaos of 6 great-grandchildren, and loved sharing memories of her childhood growing up in a large Italian-American family.  Her advice and wisdom will be so missed, as she was always a phone call away, but will never be forgotten by those lucky enough to be in her life.

Daughter of the late Vincent and Catherine (Welsh) Migliaccio; beloved wife of the late Andrew Joseph Auletta; mother-in-law to the late Stephen Smilek; sister of the late Nancy Ciaramella, Nicholas Migliaccio, Elizabeth Salamandra, Anna Cardelli, Joseph Migliaccio, and Agnes Migliaccio.  She is survived by her daughter, Anna Smilek; her son Vincent Auletta and wife Lisa; four grandchildren, Jason Auletta and wife Brittany, Kirstin and husband Mark Simmons, Kelsey and husband John Higgins, and Ryan Auletta and girlfriend Jennifer McVicker; six great-grandchildren, Paige, Graham, and Jack Simmons, Cameron and Vivian Auletta, and Blake Higgins; two sisters, Rose and husband Andrew Serenelli, and Marie Fortunati; as well as many nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.
