Ina Michele Resnikoff
A decade ago, Angela Warren Ippolito built an extension on her Swampscott home with her husband, Joe, to bring her now 90-year-old mother to live with them. Like everything else that Ippolito has done, this decision has added to her joy in life.
Ippolito is an unusually positive person, able to see the many sides of things; this has enabled her to be successful in the worlds of fine arts and marketing as well as an unstinting Swampscott volunteer for 20 years.
Currently, Ippolito is in her third five-year term on the Swampscott Planning Board, which she also leads as the five-member board’s chairperson. She appreciates the diversity and diligence of her colleagues.
