Friends, family and fans turned out in force to pay their respects to Angela “Big Ang” Raiola on Saturday at the first of four funeral home services held for the Mob Wives star in Brooklyn, New York.
The 55-year-old reality star passed away on Thursday after a long battle with cancer.
Raiola gave her last interview on the Dr. Oz Show earlier this month, where she revealed she had left Murphy and attributed her cancer to smoking.
Neil Murphy, Ang’s husband, was spotted smoking a cigarette outside the funeral home, who reportedly “looked visibly upset.” Also in attendance were some of Raiola’s Mob Wives co-stars, including Drita D’Avanzo, Carla Facciolo and Renee Graziano.
Visitations are set to continue throughout the weekend at Scarpaci Funeral Home in Brooklyn and a service will be held on Monday.
