Angel’s favorite past time was spending time with her family, tending her beautiful flower garden, and, with a touch of her trademark humor, pulling the handle on the slot machines.

Two of Angel’s favorite quotes were “Love You More” and “Thank You for calling,” words that reflected the warmth, gratitude, and steady kindness she offered so freely throughout her life.

The family wishes to thank Reliant Hospice for providing heartfelt care during this difficult time.
