Angeline and Matthew spent the past 30 winters in Isla Del Sol, St. Petersburg, FL with friends that became an extension of their family. She looked forward to card games, dinners, walks, and sunsets at the beach while spending time in Florida. Angeline was an avid UConn basketball fan and enjoyed traveling with friends and family. Angeline was known for her warm and welcoming smile that would win over anyone she met. Her lively demeanor was evident in the stories she loved to tell to anyone who would listen.
