Adopted as a child, she was raised in Colorado and graduated from Yuma High School in 1980. Always striving for excellence, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Finance and a Master’s degree in Business Management, both from the University of Phoenix.

She called Yuma, Greeley, and Colorado Springs home, building a life rooted in dedication, compassion, and hard work.

Angela found joy in dancing – especially to country music, with a special love for George Strait and had a passion for traveling and exploring new places. A gifted cook, she delighted in discovering new recipes and sharing home-cooked meals. She was also a proud and loyal Denver Broncos fan, never missing a game and cheering them on with heartfelt enthusiasm.

She was a devoted dog lover, always welcoming her four-legged companions as cherished family members. In every job she held, she was known for her integrity, tireless work ethic, and the care she extended to others.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Jailynn, who was the center of her world and her greatest pride.

Her legacy is one of love, strength, joy, and resilience. She taught all who knew her to embrace life, love deeply, and cherish the moments that take your breath away.
