Angela R. Caselli

Angela Caselli, 64, of Las Vegas Nevada, originally from Huntington, Long Island, passed away abruptly on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 at Mountainview Hospital in Las Vegas Nevada. Born June 12, 1950 in Brooklyn N.Y., she was the only child of her late parents, Charles and Bridget Caselli. Both parents were of Sicilian descent, a heritage Angela deeply cherished. After completing graduate school at Middlebury College, Angela devoted over 30 years of her life to teaching and tutoring both native English and Spanish speakers. She was a member of the National Honor Society as well as the National Spanish Honor Society. She started her teaching career on Long Island in a public school, then continued at the Kent School, a select boarding preparatory school in Connecticut where she taught for 20 years. In 2004, she moved to Las Vegas, "in search of sunshine" and taught Advanced Placement Spanish classes at the Meadow School. Teaching her students with her heart and soul, Angela took a significant role as their mentor by opening her home to them for motherly advice and counseling. She was loved and respected by her students who became a part of her extended family. In the past few years Angela started her own consulting company, translating medical, educational and technical documents as well as hosting public presentations on Spanish Language. She also donated her free time to the Make A Wish Foundation to help make terminal children’s dreams come true. Angela loved the sun, sea, sailing the Long Island shore and travelling to Italy, Sicily, France and the Dominican Republic where she spent Easter vacations with friends and colleagues. She was a loving mother who put her children’s interest first. She was a loyal and generous friend and will be remembered by her welcoming radiant smile and caring blue eyes. Angela is survived by her cherished daughter Alicia Villegas from NYC, and her son Rolando Villegas (Carrie Perkis) of North Carolina as well as one aunt, first cousins and her two beloved Chihuahuas Gus and Paul.
