Angela will be remembered as a strong and charismatic woman whose presence filled every room she entered. Faithful, outspoken, and full of sass, she was a true firecracker with a generous heart who always put others before herself. She was a devoted mother, sister, daughter, and friend, known for her empathy, forgiveness, and the deep love she showed to those closest to her. Affectionately called "Gigi" by her loved ones she treasured her family above all else and found joy in caring for and supporting them. A creative spirit and a true jack of all trades, Angela loved crafting and crocheting beautiful handmade gifts, leaving pieces of her love woven into the lives of those she cherished. She will be remembered for her warmth, her laughter, her strength, and the lasting impact she made on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
