Lorraine St. Angelo (née Seidel), 87, of Northvale, NJ, passed away peacefully on
February 6, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Her gentle spirit, unwavering
faith, devotion to family, and quiet strength left an imprint on all who were blessed to
know her.
Lorraine was born in the Bronx to Anna and Kurt Seidel. After moving to Bergenfield, NJ
she grew up in a home filled with love, tradition, and deep family bonds. She carried
those values throughout her life, nurturing her own family with the same warmth and
steadfast care. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Vincent, with whom she
shared 44 years of partnership, laughter, and love. She was also predeceased by her
parents and her brother, Raymond Seidel, all of whom she held close in her heart.
Lorraine’s greatest joy was her family and friends. She is survived by her loving
children—Christine, Vincent and his wife Annette, and Regina and her husband
Richard—each of whom she supported with endless encouragement, pride, and
unconditional love.
A cherished grandmother, whose presence brought countless treasured memories, she
took pride in attending their various sports and activities while watching them grow into
wonderful adults. Lorraine leaves behind her adored grandchildren: Jennifer (Chet),
Jeffrey (Nicole), Jaclyn, Alyssa (Tyler), Nicholas (Ashley), Douglas, Matthew, and a
great‑grandson, Vincent.
Some of the happiest times in her life were when she spent time with her furry four-
legged grand babies Gryffin, Stella, Chloe and Vader. They brought her such joy and
love throughout the years.
Lorraine is also survived by her sister‑in‑law Gloria Seidel, and her nieces and
nephew—Suzanne, Raymond (Jessica), and Andrea (Michael) and their children Kurt,
Kristopher, and Myka—all of whom she loved dearly.
Lorraine also found great joy in traveling with her husband and family, creating
memories that became fascinating stories retold for decades. Whether wandering the
lavender fields of Provence, France, savoring the peaceful shores of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, or her weekend excursions to the shops and farmer’s markets of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, she embraced each journey with gratitude, curiosity, and a
deep appreciation for the beauty of the world and the people she shared it with.
She enjoyed her monthly luncheons with her girlfriends from the Northvale Golden Age
Club as they dined at a variety of local restaurants enjoying lively conversations,
laughter, and friendships.
Known for her kindness, grace, and quiet resilience, Lorraine touched lives simply by
being herself. She had a gift for making others feel welcomed and loved. Her home was
a place of warmth, her presence a source of comfort, and her love was the sturdy bond
for her family.
Though she will be deeply missed, Lorraine’s legacy lives on in the values she instilled,
the memories she created, and the love she gave so freely. Her family takes solace in
knowing she is reunited with her beloved husband Vinny and the loved ones who went
before her.
May her soul rest in eternal peace, may her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
A Funeral Mass for Lorraine will be held on Monday, January 9, 2026 at 11 AM at St. Anthony’s RC Church, Northvale, NJ, with interment to follow at Tappan Cemetery, Tappan, NY.
