She was a lifelong parishioner of St. Stanislaus B.M. Catholic Church, South Bend. Angie never drove a car, but that never stopped her. She always took the bus to the beauty shop, appointments and shopping. She enjoyed traveling the states and abroad. While at St. Paul's, she attended activities, shopping for bargains at the mall and had faithful attendance at the beauty shop. She was proud of her heritage and west side roots. She was an elegant lady who never knew a stranger. Her faith was an important part of her life. She was a fiercely loyal Notre Dame Football fan, who enjoyed socializing, dining out and strawberry crepes. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 am Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at the Sanctuary at St. Paul's, 3602 S.
