Serving as an educator for the Richgrove School District until retiring in 2016. However, that wasn’t the end, the school knew they couldn’t let her go, they asked her back the next year. Loving her job so much Angie agreed to come back part time.
While working with other kids was important, Angie’s first love and true passion were her own children and family. Everyone knew mom was happiest with her Diet Pepsi, scratchers and the grandchildren. She also loved dressing up every year for Halloween and serving as family Santa.
