Angie brought pure joy into the lives of all she touched. She was our beacon of light, radiating warmth, compassion and kindness to everyone she encountered. Her infectious laughter and unwavering support filled the lives of many others. 

Family was the cornerstone of “GiGi's” life. She treasured the bond that united us. As a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, she nurtured and protected those who were dear to her. The love she knew was boundless and selflessly poured into the lives of every soul she met. Angie possessed an intuitive understanding and uncanny ability to support and provide comfort to those in need. Angie was known for helping others, no matter who they were or what they needed. 

Though Angie may not be physically present with us today, her spirit will forever reside in our hearts as we carry out her legacy. We shall take peace in the memories we’ve shared with our sweet Angie. Her world was filled with love, joy, happiness and boundless compassion. Her heart and kindness are unmatched in this world by many, she made so many people feel loved when nobody else would. 

You are a very special angel that heaven has taken back too soon. Angie loved the Lord with all her heart. She is now at peace with her maker.
