Playful by nature, Angie delighted in games and brought that sense of play to her community work with the Catholic Daughters of America visiting nursing homes to offer la loteria game to residents. Angie was sustained by her deep faith in God and her dedication to her profession and family.

She earned a scholarship to Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, TX where she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Medical Technology. She worked in hospitals and doctor's offices until the 1980's when she became a Laboratory Supervisor at Lab Corps in Brownsville, TX.
