At an early age Angela developed a lifelong love of reading. Always seeking out knowledge and encouraging those around her to further their education, follow their dreams, cast out doubt and believe in themselves. Angela fulfilled her goal of becoming a registered nurse in 2004. She was driven by her passion for nursing, educating others about their profession, as well as advocating for her patients and their families. The lives she touched are countless. She will always be known for her willingness to lend a helping hand, her infinite strength, loyalty, dedication, but most importantly, her fearlessness.
