Angela believed in God, speaking the gospel, and would stop in and worship at the Truckers Church’s along the way. Angela never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand to her fellow truckers or anyone who was in need of her advice or just to visit for a little while. She had a kind soul, an even gentler heart, and an infectious smile. Angela liked to garden and tending to her roses. She loved giving her daughters advice on their gardens and well anything else that they may or may not need. That is a true mother’s love. That’s one of the many things that made her so extra special. She wants to be celebrated for the amazing and unique life she led and shared with so many! She enjoyed going on float trips, two of her favorite places was on the Lindenlure in the Ozarks and the James River by Table Rock Lake.
