Before July 2017, Angela was a correctional officer for 10 years at Lee Arrendale State Prison Center in Alto, GA. She retired soon after her first diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. Angela fought breast cancer five different times for nearly 8 years at stage 4 for 6 years. During her chemo and radiation, she was always smiling and so positive. As her doctor always said "she is my special case" because she had fought so hard during these years. In June 2021, her cancer came back again aggressively in her brain and spinal cord fluid. She was given at best 6 months to live but Angela surpassed all expectations and lived another 6 months before treatments were no longer an option.

She will be deeply missed by family and loved ones.
