Angela was a member of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. Angela embraced her role as a homemaker with grace as she dedicated her life to her family.

Angela enjoyed cooking, car rides, watching her flowers bloom, being in a card club for over 50 years, of which she was the last surviving member, playing bingo, rooting for the Steelers alongside her family, and a good conversation. Angela had an infectious smile and laugh, which will live on forever.
