Entertainment Tonight had previously reported that the Mob Wives cast member had passed at the age of 55. The reality star has battled with stage 4 cancer. In December, Big Ang had revealed that throat cancer had returned. According to ET,

Several months earlier, in March, a lemon-size tumor was previously discovered and removed from her throat in March 2015. Later, in June, she underwent the same procedure for the right side of her throat as well.

Earlier this week, Big Ang posted the following on Instagram.

Today is a good day, it’s my grandson Anthony’s 1st birthday, and it’s Valentines Day… I’m wishing you all love and well wishes. Thank you for your never ending support from little Louie and I.
