Angelina Barbara Puccio

Angelina Barbara Puccio, a woman of remarkable wit and a sharp mind, passed away peacefully at the age of 104 on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at the Laurel Center in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.

Born on June 9, 1921, in Brooklyn, New York, she was the daughter of the late Eustachio and Santa (Nicoletta) Carucci.

Locally, she was a member of St. John XXIII R.C.C. in Tamaqua.

Even at 104, Angelina remained an avid reader and stayed deeply engaged with the world. She was a master of word puzzles and spent many peaceful hours knitting, crocheting, and creating beautiful afghans for her loved ones.
