Angela was devoted to her babies – Elijah (Eli) Lambert Robertson and Laci McCrea Horn. She was a very caring and loving mother. Angela was grateful to Eli’s Aunt Kathy Frye of Illinois for all that she has done for Eli. Angela had a very special place in her heart for her much loved friend Paula Gipson. She was a caregiver for many years to those who lived at the State School. She also was a nanny for many years for her Morgan, Meadow, and Miley Strain whom she adored. She was very close to their mom, Michelle Strain, who was her cousin and first real friend. She loved Michelle beyond measure.
Angela cherished her time spent with her lifelong buddies – Angela Brooks, Rachel Juarez, and D.J. Smith. D.J. went before Angela to be with the Lord and Angela missed him every day. She was especially close to her Aunt Judy who was like a second mother to her. Angela enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She had a tremendous sense of humor and a beautiful smile. She was kind to others and made a difference wherever she was. She was a friend to all who knew her, and she will forever be remembered and loved.
