Angeline M. Schiavulli

With hearts full of love and gratitude for a life beautifully lived, the family of Angeline M. Schiavulli announces her passing on June 12, 2025, at the age of 95. Angeline was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother whose warmth, strength, and grace left an enduring mark on all who knew her.

Born on March 14, 1930, Angeline was the cherished sister of the late Stephen, James, and Anne. She married the love of her life, Frank Schiavulli, and together they built a family grounded in love, resilience, and joy. Though she faced the heartache of losing her beloved children—Frank, Michael, and Mary—Angeline remained a pillar of strength, choosing compassion over bitterness and kindness over sorrow.

She found immense pride and purpose in her role as a mother and grandmother. Her grandchildren—Kristina, Rachel, Frank, and Holly—were her heart's delight, and she was a constant presence in their lives. She especially cherished the days when her grandchildren lived in the house behind her, lovingly known to them as "Grandma Fence," where fence-hopping visits from toddlers became treasured memories. Angeline's legacy continued to bloom through her great-grandchildren—Nena, Chad, and Jeran—and her great-great-grandchildren—Isabella, Wyatt, and Charlotte.

Angeline was a woman of many talents and deep passions. She was a gifted homemaker and storyteller who found joy in crocheting, sewing, and cooking—her legendary spaghetti sauce and braciole were the heart of countless family meals. Though she claimed to be a picky eater, her adventurous palate always proved otherwise. Music was the rhythm of her soul; from Pavarotti to Motown, she adored all genres—especially anything with a good beat. She often declared, "that song's too moody… give me something with a beat!" Her love for the Temptations and Aretha Franklin filled her home with joy. Angeline was a faithful Jeopardy! watcher. She would always check the time to make sure she didn't miss an episode. She was sharp and would regularly answer the trivia before the contestants had a chance to buzz in. She could have been contestant on the show and might have even become a Jeopardy! champion.

Angeline was known for her sweet spirit, infectious laughter, and loving presence. Despite life's challenges, she never allowed hardship to harden her. She loved her family unconditionally and expressed that love in every call, visit, and thoughtful gesture. She always remembered to sing "Happy Birthday" to her loved ones each year, and never missed a chance to check in if she heard someone wasn't feeling well.

She often joked about moving to Alaska to escape the humidity she despised—but no matter the weather, Angeline made every place she was feel like home. She was a true legend—resilient, radiant, and remarkably kind.

Angeline will be remembered with deep affection by all who were fortunate to know her, including her loyal pups, Pockets the mini-dachshund and Beau the Corgi mix, who were among her dearest companions.

Angeline's life was a song of love, laughter, resilience, and grace—and though she will be deeply missed, her melody lives on in every heart she touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in Angeline's name to Holy Cross Hungarian Catholic Church - 8423 South St, Detroit, MI 48209
