NEW YORK — Celebrity Angela “Big Ang” Raiola, of ‘Mob Wives’ fame has reportedly dies at age 55, according to several news outlets. The reality star had been battling Stage 4 cancer.
From The Source: “[Raiola] passed away in hospital in New York surrounded by loved ones. She first learned of her cancer in March 2015 when she had a tumor removed from her throat and then in June that year, she underwent the same procedure once again. Entertainment Tonight revealed her cancer had returned in December last year.
