Maria Provina Angelucci

Born in Lama Dei Peligni Italy, she was the daughter of the late Attilio Mastrangelo and the late Trevilina Angelucci Mastrangelo.  She lived in Lausanne, Switzerland for 10 years before moving to the United States and was fluent in Italian, French, and English languages.

Maria was gifted with “healing hands.” She helped many people as a licensed massage therapist at Picone Beauty and Wellness Spa in Kennett Square for many years. She was a longtime member of St. Patrick Church in Kennett Square. She was truly a “special person” at the core of our family, loving wife, wonderful mother/mother-in-law, caring grandmother, and an inspiration to all. She enjoyed planning family events, cooking, and spending lots of time with her grandchildren who referred to her as “Nonni.” With her charm, simple elegance, kindness, and generosity she touched many many people all around the world. She always put others before herself and wanted to be sure everyone was taken care of.
