She also volunteered at Kaweah Delta District Hospital at the Guild making baby blankets and working the gift shop. Angie was extremely artistic and could make anything and everything look beautiful with a little glue, glitter, and a lot of imagination. She had befriended many children and teenagers during her career that were not always in the best homes and environments. She left a positive impact on all of them to make more out of themselves than what your environment left you to pursue. She had no hesitation in telling you the honest truth because sometimes, that is exactly the “kick in the rear” they needed to succeed. And Many of them did exactly that. Her greatest artistic masterpieces were her children and grandchildren. She was strong willed and very no holds barred as to her immense compassion for them. She lived and breathed for each and every one of her children and grandchildren. Family was a vital part of her life and was truly her legacy to the world.
