Angie had a very outgoing personality and willingness to help others which drove her to Volunteer work for many of her later years at St. Mark’s and St. John’s Episcopal Church with The Food Pantry, The Community Garden and wherever else needed.
Angie was a very lively and feisty lady who liked to laugh and have fun. She enjoyed music events, dancing, and could most often be found walking the neighborhood streets with her fur-baby, Smokey. She lived life on her own terms and loved her family unconditionally.
