Angel Hollis Vaccaro – McLean, Va.
Angel Hollis Vaccaro, 44, passed away on Oct. 9, 2020, after a short illness, surrounded by family at home. Angel was born and raised in Chesapeake, Va., before calling Northern Virginia her home.
Her memory is cherished by her family, including her husband of 16 years, Damon Vaccaro; mother, Lois Hollis and father, Dr. Joseph Hollis. She is survived by her two adoring sisters, Dr. Alicia Hollis and Andria (Paul) Tobin; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Vincent and Charlotte Vaccaro; her brother-in-law, Darren (Amy) Vaccaro; her sister-in-law, Dana (Jonathan) Laughlin; and numerous nieces and nephews, Landon Vaccaro 12, Kaleb Alemu 8, Gianna Vaccaro 8, Mila Laughlin 7, Connor Tobin 6, Dylan Tobin 4 and Myles Laughlin 4, all of whom affectionately called her “Auntie.” Many dear friends and colleagues also hold Angel close to their heart. Although young, Angel had an enormous impact on so many. She graduated from Virginia Tech, Bachelor of Science in business / psychology and subsequently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, master’s in business administration. Fresh out of college, Angel devoted her career to digital marketing consulting where she worked at Deloitte for 22 years, achieving partnership in 2011 at a young age. She previously served as a board member for Kid Power where she promoted the importance of youth education. Angel lit up every room she entered with her smile, generous spirit and boundless appetite for fun, always drawing people to her in those fabulous shoes. She will forever be remembered for her intensity in everything that she set out to accomplish. Through her ability to connect with clients and colleagues, she gained tremendous respect in her field. She passionately devoted all of herself to the business that she built, teams that she led and people that she mentored. Angel embraced every challenge with resilience, creativity, collaboration and joy while never missing an opportunity to celebrate. Angel lived fiercely and loved deeply. While Angel and Damon were fortunate to travel the globe and relax on the best beaches, she most of all enjoyed being at home with family and friends relaxing by the pool, hosting gatherings and sharing bottles of wine. “Auntie Angel” loved to have pizza party sleepovers and roast s’mores with her nieces and nephews.
