Angela Betts, age 74, of Little Ferry, NJ, and formerly of Elmwood Park, NJ, passed away on November 24, 2025. Born in Paterson, she grew up in Franklin Lakes before settling in Elmwood Park, where she spent more than 20 years building a life rooted in warmth, community, and love.
Angela found her greatest joy in the time she spent with her family, especially her grandchildren, who always brought a smile to her face. She cherished simple moments—conversations at the park, sharing coffee with loved ones, and connecting with new people wherever she went. Known for her vibrant spirit and signature flair, Angela never left home without her hair and makeup done just right. Her warmth and kindness touched everyone she met.
She is survived by her son, Bryan Duess, and his wife, Erica; her siblings, Charlie Betts, Dawn Jerbert, and Andrea Price; and her beloved grandchildren—Rachel Moskowitz, Alexa Erickson, Amber Duess, and Brayden Moriarty. She was predeceased by her parents, Christopher and Joann Betts, and her daughter, Jennifer Pizappi.
A visitation and service will be held on Monday, December 1, 2025, at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Wyckoff, followed by interment at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations in Angela’s memory be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
