Angela attended Sacred Heart High School, Walkerton.

After being a stay at home mom she returned to work in Chatham in retail ladies fashions and footwear stores.
Following the move to Grand Bend was employed with seasonal ladies wear, maintaining spring/summer employment while residing in apartment in Kitchener during winter. Retired after birth of her first grandchild.
Angela had been active in numerous community and charitable organizations including fundraising for Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke, and Community Living, former member of Beta Sigma Phi Woodstock and Chatham and Social & Recreation committee in Southcott Pines Park Association.

She was an avid gardener and recipient of numerous garden awards.
Travels took her coast to coast in Canada, Nassau Bahamas, Cuba, Alaska, California, Europe, northern United States and had been a snowbird in Florida for numerous years.
