Anna Barbara (Miller) Candelmo

Beloved wife, mother and precious grandma, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 25, 2020 in Florida after a full 96 years of love and life. Born in Providence, RI, in 1923, Barbara was the daughter of William and Margaret (Feeney) Miller. She was the beloved wife of the late Francis (Red) Candelmo.

Barbara is survived by her children, Peggy Agostinelli of Cranston, Frances Dolan of Norwalk, CT., Ernest Candelmo of Hollywood, Fl, and the late John Candelmo.  She had 10 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Barbara’s role as a mother and touchstone for her family was unsurpassed, as mom lived life with style, grace, enthusiasm, and the highest character. She was a dedicated and loyal worker until 85 years old in the restaurant hospitality business from RI to FL. Barbara was the City of Hollywood Florida’s 2015  St. Patrick’s Day Parade “Grande Marshall”, which represented her enthusiasm and love of life.
