D’ANGELO

Francine “Fran,” (nee Cibotti) age 93, on April 1, 2026, of West Chester, PA, formerly of Havertown and Philadelphia, PA.

Francine is predeceased by her parents, Charlotte (nee Carunchio) and Rocco “Robert” Cibotti.

She is survived by her loving husband of almost 73 years, Ralph N. D’Angelo, daughters, Judith Anderson (Chris) and Adele Masters (Chris), seven adoring grandchildren: Christian (Dominique), Christina (William), Robert (Ashley), Rafael, Marc, Nicholas, John Paul, and her seven great-grandchildren: Christos, Josephine, Reese, Lucia, Zuzu, Robbie, and Cecilia, with her 8th great grandchild, a boy arriving in May.

Francine had a wonderful childhood in west Philadelphia. Although she was an only child, she was surrounded by a huge, very close extended Italian family of aunts, uncles and many cousins. At the age of 10 she made herself the president of the neighborhood Frank Sinatra fan club. She was a graduate of John Bartram High and sang in the glee club. At 15 years old, Francine met her first and only sweetheart, “Bunny”, on Margate beach. After high school she was employed as a legal secretary in center city, and she and Bunny married in June 1954 at Transfiguration of our Lord Church. She was a devoted homemaker and mother to their 2 daughters in Drexel Hill, and later in Havertown. Finally in 1975 after the girls were grown, she went back to work as an Administrative Assistant at Haverford School District.

After retiring, Francine volunteered at Birth Right in West Chester, which was very rewarding to her.

She and her beloved husband were blessed to be annual Snowbirds in Florida, and even more blessed to travel the world. One of the most beautiful events of her life was visiting the birth town “paese” of her parents’ ancestors in Atessa, Italy. There, she made the joyous discovery of finding living cousins with her same maiden name of Cibotti. How emotional it was for her to visit the house where her beloved father was born.

Francine’s family and especially her grandchildren were everything to her! As their Nonna, she showered them with quality time and endless love beyond compare. Every “Vigilia” on Dec.24, she prepared a spectacular 7-fish feast , until she was no longer able. Although she was Frank Sinatra’s #1 fan, her other faves were brightening up any room with her singing and dancing. She loved the Big Band music of her childhood, as well as listening to any Puccini opera, and was a fan of musical theater.

But her greatest love was for God and His Word, always eager to tell us and anyone she would meet about the Lord Jesus .

Family and friends may call on Thursday April 9, from 9:00-10:15 followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 at St. Elizabeth Church, 110 Saint Elizabeth Drive, Chester Springs, PA 19425. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Conshohocken.

Fran was such a dear friend to my mom and dad along with her husband, “Bunny” I will remember Fran for her blue eyes, sense of style and such a sweet caring way about her. She loved the Lord and her light shined in her concern for others. My parents are with Jesus and now their dear friend, Fran joins them. Our loss here yet only temporarily but heaven’s gain! We love you, Fran!!

A great blessing it has been to us, to have known and prayed with our beloved friend, Francine. We are forever grateful to have prayed many rosaries together. It was easy to see how much Our Blessed Mother’s Holy and most Powerful Rosary meant to her. Francine holds a very special place in our hearts…and we will never cease prayer for her beautiful soul ️ Lovely Francine, and all her family, will remain in all our prayer…always ♥️ With love and many Aves, her friends from the Wellington Rosary crew

Fran was a wonderful friend and sister in Christ to my mother and our family. We are forever grateful for her love, compassion, and her generous spirit.

Our deepest condolences to the entire D’Angelo family.Francine’s life story reflects a woman full of love, faith, joy, and deep devotion to her family. We were truly fortunate to meet Nonna every time we visited the Andersons, and those moments were always so kind, warm, and special to us.Her presence, her role as Nonna, and the love she shared so generously will live on through her family and the many lives she touched. We are thinking of you all during this difficult time and wish you comfort, peace, and strength.

We were so sorry to hear the passing of Fran, we met her and Ralph at the pool at Oceanrise. She was very entertaining and we loved hearing her stories she would tell us. She was always singing Italian songs and Frank Sinatra songs. She got to speak Italian to my mom over the phone and we shared a nice dinner at my sisters place. We missed seeing her and Ralph. We loved them both. We loved the way she would speak to Ralph (Bunny). May she sleep in peace with the lord. Pam and John Nabais

Francine was a beautiful soul who lit up any room she entered. Full of energy and spirit, everyone felt welcome in her presence. I’m sure the Lord was awaiting her arrival because of her steadfast belief in His love and Mercy. My prayers go out to her loving family. Rest in Peace, Francine.

May the Lord bless you & keep you during this time. Fran was very special to all of us & she will be missed terribly. All of you are in our prayers.
