On March 17, 2022, we lost a beautiful soul, and the angels in Heaven gained one. Angela lived in both Colorado and Texas, but resided most of her life in Houston, Texas. She was preceded in death by her father, John Gennusa and her mother, Marian Gennusa.

Additionally, Angela had a wealth of friends that grieve her passing.

Angela attended elementary and middle school at Grace Academy. She attended high school at Stratford High School, where she formed and maintained several lifelong friendships. As a child she developed a love of ballet and other forms of dance. She spent many years learning and participating in dance. She later taught dance at Suzanne Semans Dance Studio, in Houston. To add to her skill, she took dance lessons, during summers, at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City. She had a love for psychology, art, and animals that she maintained her entire life. She even owned a goat, once, during FFA. Angela had a wonderful education and was a lifelong learner. She studied psychology at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. She studied ballet at the University of Texas at Austin. She also studied psychology at the University of Phoenix and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her master’s degree was achieved at the University of the Southwest in Clinical Mental Health and Counseling. In addition, she attended the Houston Learning Academy. Angela’s education did not end with academia.

Some of the many impressive positions that Angela held were Youth Treatment Counselor at the Denver Children’s Home, a Medical Administrator at the Denver Children’s Home, and a Relief Treatment Supervisor at the Denver Children’s Home. She was also a Supervisor at the Krause’s Children Center in Katy, Texas. In the last few years, Angela’s art business began to flourish, and she became a small business owner of Lady Lucy’s Gallery. Her artistic ability thrived, and she was even invited to display her art at a gallery showing in New York City in the fall of 2021. Ang is known for her energy, creativity and compassion. Her love for animals Included a menagerie of her own pets, two dogs, Ella and Lucy, a cat, Sergeant Pepper and a turtle named Yurtle, which are being well cared for. Though this beautiful soul is gone from this earth, she will forever remain in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, you may, also donate to the ALS Foundation.
