Angela M. Romano, 81, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, died Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at her home after multiple hospitalizations. Ms. Romano, daughter of the late Florence (Mercugliano) Romano and Alfred Romano, was born in New Haven, CT, on April 18, 1942. As an adult, she lived in West Haven until moving to Branford, CT. After she divorced her husband, Thomas M. Oligino, Jr., in 1983, she relocated to Boston, where she lived for three decades.

Ms. Romano, a woman of many passions, was highly educated. She earned her undergraduate degree from Albertus Magnus College in CT., a master’s degree in theology from Andover Newton Theological School (MA.), and a doctorate in Religion. Her love for the arts was evident in her role as an artist and an art lover, and she generously shared her time volunteering at Boston museums. A devoted member of the First Baptist Church in Malden, MA., she actively participated in church activities. Her love for animals, particularly her beloved dog, was a testament to her compassionate nature.

She is preceded in death by her brother Alfred Romano, Jr., of Guilford, and her Aunt
Anna Green of New Haven. Three children survive her: Thomas (Jessica) Oligino of Easton, PA,
Anthony Oligino of Exton, PA, and Nina (Chris) Plaushin of Alexandria, VA. She also leaves six
grandchildren: Nick, Sara, Katie, Jackson Oligino, Olivia, and Sophia Plaushin. The family
thanks the healthcare workers who aided Ms. Romano and her friends in the Cambridge area
through her declining health.
