Big Ang Wanted To Be A Better Person After First Cancer Scare
A huge mural of the reality star, who passed away after her battle with cancer, was drawn on a building in Staten Island. It features her face with the quote, “I’m not here for a long time, just for a good time.”
Artists Danielle Mastrion and Vincent Santorella contributed to the final piece that is featured near her sister, Janine Detore’s children’s boutique called The Country Mouse.

Big Ang battled with cancer for quite some time. In a recent episode of the series, she was happy to finally beat the disease before finding out shortly after that it returned and was at a stage four level.
She passed away last month at 55-years-old.
