Dawn Angiulli-Menagh, was a mother, a nurse, a Yankee lover, and a Billy Joel super fan. She passed on from this world in July of 2023 at age 59.

Born on Staten Island to Frank and Mary Angiulli on February 23, 1964, Dawn brought joy and laughter to her friends, family, and community. She leaves behind her triplet children, Cameron, Danielle, and Andrea Cipriano; a son-in-law, Quentin Geddis; a sister, Frances DiBetta; a brother-in-law, Vincent DiBetta, and a niece and nephews.

As a student at Wagner High School, Dawn’s musical prowess flourished. She was a member of the Staten Island Jazz Ensemble, playing the clarinet and saxophone.

Years later, while caring for young triplets, Dawn effortlessly juggled new adventures.

Dawn returned to college to study nursing while getting hands-on experience as a Randolph Rescue Squad Volunteer Paramedic. In our family, Dawn coined the term “study buddy” with our cat, Cocoa, who would sit at her side for hours while she studied for the NCLEX exam in the kitchen.

After graduating, Dawn did what she did best — care for others. Dawn’s pride was in her patients, and she shared her passions with her late husband, Michael Menagh, whom she met while they both worked at Morris View Healthcare Center. While there, Dawn adorned her desk with fresh flowers and a cute penguin desktop wallpaper.

Dawn had a toy rubber chicken that she’d squeak to signal the end of her shift, and the residents and other nurses adored the tradition!

One of Dawn’s favorite pastimes was watching Jeopardy! and keeping up with the answers while texting with family. She always joked that she should be on the show because she seemed to always get the answers right.

A memorial gathering to honor the life of Dawn will be held on Friday, July 28, from 4-8pm at Holmdel Funeral Home. Friends and family are invited to join together to pay their respects, share memories, and celebrate the legacy she leaves behind. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered Saturday, July 29 at 11:00 am at St. Gabriel’s Historic Church, 549 County Road 520, Marlboro.  Innichement to follow at St. Gabriel’s Mausoleum.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have offered their condolences and support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please make a donation to Shatterproof, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping families get access to addiction support.

We picture Dawn wearing her #49 Ron Guidry Yankees jersey, curly hair in a ponytail, and a large iced tea in hand, standing in the bleachers of the massive baseball stadium God created in Heaven, cheering on legends as they hit home run after home run.

“Goodnight, my angel

Now it’s time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

Remember all the songs

You sang for me”

Billy Joel, Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)
