Angela “Babci” Ciempa

She moved to Haddam, CT after marrying Gary, her loving husband of 48 years. Upon retiring in 2005 as a Surgical Practice Manager, she enjoyed being with and teaching children, particularly her grandchildren.

Angela loved her family deeply and was patient and ever forgiving. She enjoyed spending her days with her family, especially her grandchildren. She would be found on a sideline of a soccer field enthusiastically chanting, at a dance recital cheering from the audience, or at the edge of the gymnastic mat. Never one for formalities, she became Mom and Babci to many. She enjoyed visiting and spending time with friends. Outside of spending time with family and friends locally her favorite thing to do was to travel and attend book club.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joan Szlosek, Edward Dombek, and Thomas Coyne.

Besides her husband, Gary, she is survived by daughter, Bethany, son-in-law, Paul, grandchildren, Benjamin, Katherine, and Julia, and nieces Karen Ingram (Scott) and Kathy Weiss (Kevin) and four grand nephews.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Friday, September 11, 2026, 11:00am - 1:00pm with a memorial service held at 12:00pm, Swan Funeral Home, 80 East Main Street, Clinton, CT.
