Sarah Angelo (née Marino; born 1906) was an Italian-American woman who was the wife of Tommy Angelo, a soldato in the Salieri crime family of Chicago, Illinois. The daughter of former hitman Luigi Marino, Sarah and Tommy knew each other for some time, though only became a couple after Tommy defended her from a gang of hoodlums near her apartment. They married soon after Tommy returned from a bootlegging job gone wrong in the middle of a fierce storm.

The two eventually had a daughter, and lived in a house in the suburbs of Chicago. Eventually, the family had to flee Chicago due to Tommy and his best friend, Paulie Lombardo, robbed the Grand Imperial Bank in downtown Chicago behind Don Ennio Salieri's back. Tommy turned himself into the Witness Protection Program after testifying against his former friends in the crime family and serving eight years, reuniting with Sarah and his daughter. In 1951, after their daughter's wedding, Sarah watched her husband be shot in the chest with a lupara by Joe Barbaro on the orders of Don Salieri, before comforting Tommy as he died, satisfied with his family's safety.
