Angela Maria Bucciarelli

In Loving Memory of Angela Maria Bucciarelli, 63

Angela Maria Bucciarelli, age 63, passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of October 16, 2025, at her home in Parker, Colorado.

Born on May 2, 1962, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Angela was the second daughter of Joseph Piccoli and Jean (Piccoli) Tarquinio-Lepko. After graduating with the Class of 1980 from George Washington High School in Northeast Philadelphia, Angela began her career as a legal secretary for two Center City law firms, later working as an administrative assistant for the RCA Corporation in Camden, New Jersey.

In May 1986, Angela married her high school sweetheart, Dominick Bucciarelli, at St. Anselm’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia. Shortly after, the couple moved to Niceville, Florida, where Dominick was serving in the U.S. Air Force. In 1987, they relocated to Denver, Colorado, following a military reassignment.

Angela worked as an administrative assistant for TRW, Inc. in Aurora, Colorado, until 1996, when she pursued a new passion and became a licensed aesthetician. She earned her aesthetics certification from Pickens Technical Institute and worked at a day spa in Aurora until 2005. That year, Angela and Dominick moved to The Pinery in Parker, Colorado.

After settling in Parker, Angela founded her own business, Angela’s Aesthetics, where she provided hundreds of facials, waxings, and spa treatments to her loyal clients. Her thriving business grew entirely through word-of-mouth and personal referrals—a testament to her skill, warmth, and professionalism. She continued her work until January 2022, when COVID-19 restrictions led her to close her doors. Angela deeply cherished her clients and formed lasting friendships with many of them.

Angela had a deep love for animals, especially cats, and volunteered for several years at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—listening to music, dancing, traveling, watching movies, and binge-watching her favorite TV series.

Angela is survived by her devoted husband, Dominick; her sisters, Gina (Tom) Seklecki and Lydia (Fred) Apple; and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Piccoli and Jean Tarquinio-Lepko.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Ave Maria Catholic Church, 9056 E. Parker fRoad, Parker, CO 80138. A luncheon reception will follow in the church hall.

A celebration of life and reception will also be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at the Philadelphia Quartett Club, 1075 Southampton Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19116.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to your local animal shelter or the ASPCA in Angela’s memory.

Angela’s warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
