Sheila Angeloni MacDonald, 73, of Lawrence Township, passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer on March 30, 2019 surrounded by her loving family and friends. 

She was born on July 14, 1945 in Trenton to Dominic Angeloni of Ewing Township and the late Violet Lupariello Angeloni.  She is predeceased by a sister, the late Donna Angeloni.  Sheila was married to the late Harold MacDonald for 21 years.  She was a 1963 graduate of Notre Dame High School.  She received her Bachelor’s degree in 1967 and obtained her Master’s Degree in 1971 from The College of New Jersey. Sheila’s life work centered around the education of young children.  She worked for 21 years as an elementary school teacher and for 19 years as an administrator in elementary education.  She spent the majority of her administrative years as principal of Eldridge Park Elementary School.  She was an active member of The Church of St. Ann and a former member of the Trenton Country Club.  Those closest to Sheila knew that her second career was in shopping for anything and everything.  In addition to being a generous gift giver, she was an avid reader and beach-goer.  She greatly enjoyed needlepoint crafting, particularly making heirlooms for her nieces and nephews.
