Raiola, known as 'Big Ang', passed away on Thursday from stage four brain and lung cancer at the age of 55. 

Four visitations took place this weekend at Scarpaci Funeral Home in Brooklyn.

Sunday's services were reportedly attended by hundreds of mourners, but three women were specifically banned from showing up: Mob Wives stars Brittany Fogarty and Karen Gravano, and Fogarty's mother Andrea Giovino.

'There are going to be some people going to the service whose fathers may have been killed, or put away by their [squealing],' Giovino told the News. 

Fogarty, who found out she was unwelcome through a phone call from Mob Wives producer Jennifer Graziano, was 'very upset,' Giovino said.

'She can't even talk on the phone. She's just been crying.'

'They had a great relationship. Big Ang treated her like a daughter,' she said.

 Big Ang's brother-in-law Dominick Detore was emotional during a memorial Sunday

The Brooklyn-born star also announced during the interview that she and Murphy had separated after six years of marriage.

'I felt he never stepped up to the plate so I was done with it,' she said, wiping her eyes as she became emotional. 

'I feel now it's too late. I'd rather be by myself. I'd rather be alone and that's what I did.' 

Her Mob Wives costar and friend Carla Facciolo told People that she 'was rushed to the hospital Monday only days after being discharged'. 

She passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning at a Manhattan hospital, where she was surrounded by friends and family, including her estranged husband Neil Murphy, who is said to have been at her bedside when she died.

Facciolo told People that Murphy, who is a sanitation worker, was 'there the whole time'.

'He's part of her life,' Facciolo told People. 'He's still her husband, you know? I don't know if they got back together, but to Ang, when she throws somebody off her for a little bit, they're always back in. She takes in people.'  

Later in the afternoon Thursday, Big Ang's estranged husband shared a photo of him with Big Ang on Twitter and wrote: 'I will always love you forever please watch over the grandkids I know you will'.
