1932 - 2024
OBITUARY
Frances (Anzalone) Biele, passed away peacefully at the age of 92 on December 20, 2024. Devoted wife of Louis Biele (deceased, 2021) for 64 years, she was born May 8, 1932 to Michael and Angelina (Cali) Anzalone. A loving mother and devoted grandmother, she is survived by her daughters Dr. Diane Biele (and her husband Dr. Walter Gaudino) of Massapequa, NY, MaryAnn Biele (and her husband Dr. Louis Pasquale) of Newton, MA and grandchildren Linda Gaudino (and her husband Brian Schwartz), Dr. Stephen Gaudino, and Daniel Pasquale.
Frances grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and graduated from Ft. Hamilton High School. She was the youngest of her sisters and was preceded in death by Marian Mannino, Rose Lalia, Mamie McGlynn, and her identical twin, Jeanne Connolly. Frances worked as a secretary at Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and Roosevelt Savings Bank. She worked as an executive secretary at Ideal Toy Corporation, Allied Stores Corp. and Buckman & Archer Law office in Garden City. Frances met her husband, Louis at a church dance and they married in 1957 at St. Patrick’s Church in Brooklyn. They resided for many years in Queens Village before moving to New Hyde Park in 1987.
Frances is remembered for her unwavering love and everyday commitment to her family. She always gave us her time and honest opinions and had a positive outlook on life. She was a girl scout leader, and over the years enjoyed hobbies such as bowling, drawing, reading and watching Jeopardy. An avid NY Yankees fan, she would listen to games on the radio and could tell you about each player. She did not seek the limelight but could always rise to the occasion when needed, notably taking care of her husband for many years through his illness. Frances will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but memories of her beautiful spirit, strength, and kindness will keep her alive in our hearts.
Flowers are appreciated or donations in her memory to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, The Glaucoma Foundation NYC, or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - Breakthrough T1D
