Angelina and Enrico in 1916
with their children John and Mary
|
Angelina Straguzzi was
born in 1884 in the town of Palermo, Sicily. Angelina moved to New York City in the
early 1900's, where she met and married Enrico
Cinquini (who had come to the United States from Viareggio, Tuscany, Italy). Angelina
and Enrico left New York City to settle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Angelina and Enrico had five children:
John (Johnny) Cipini - 1913
Maria (Mary - Marie) Cinquini - 1914
Helen (Diane - Dee) Cinquini - 1917
Anthony (Tony - Tweed) Cinquini - 1920
Henrietta (Leah) Gentlelena Cinquini - 1923
During the Fall of 1964, at the age of eighty, Angelina contracted a foot
infection, which progressively grew worse, eventually requiring the amputation of her
lower leg. About five weeks after the removal of her leg (October 1964), Angelina died and was buried (November 2nd 1964) at a gravesite in the Holy Cross Cemetery
(Yeadon, Pennsylvania, USA) next to her husband Enrico. |
