Angela, at the time of her passing, was employed by the Duval County Public Schools, for the last twenty-five years, as an Elementary Educator at Neptune Beach Elementary School. Teaching was a passion she gained from her mother and from her young teen days at the San Jose Church of Christ, where she began her on the job training, with the small children, for her career as a teacher. Angela truly loved teaching, and over the years has touched the lives of many. Her legacy will live on in the lives of the children she cherished, often clothed, and inspired to love God and country. She was a member of the Dean Road Church of Christ. Angela had a passion for the ocean, and outdoors.
