MOB WIVES Star Big Ang Dies at Age 55 Following Battle with Cancer

MOB WIVES star Angela "Big Ang" Raiola died early Thursday after a difficult battle with throat, lung and brain cancer. She was 55.

According to PEOPLE, her friend Vinnie Medugno posted the news on Twitter, stating:

"It is with sad regret that we inform you that at 3:01 a.m. Angelia Raiola peacefully ended her battle with cancer, and was called home. She was surrounded by nothing but love from her immediate family, and the closest friends. YOU, (her fans) were some of the most special people in the world, and she loved you immensely. Thank you for your love, prayers, and unconditional support of Angela right to the very end.

She truly went out richer than any monetary value could ever amount to. The family asks for privacy and peace during this most difficult time. In typical Big Ang fashion, we knew she would say 'Love you my babies!' This page will remain open as a celebration of who she was and will always be."

The reality star made her first appearance on MOB WIVES in 2012 and later starred in her own spin-off series BIG ANG AND MIAMI MONKEY. She was diagnosed with a tumor in her throat in March of 2015. She is survived by her husband Neil Murphy, two children and six grandchildren.
