Angie created a loving and warm environment for her blended family and was well known for her house smelling of warm tortillas and lots of baked goods. She will be remembered for her beautiful handmade baby blankets that put smiles on many faces of family and friends and of course not to forget her cherished, well known collection of salt and pepper shakers that she displayed all over her kitchen and shared many stories of how she came to own so many. Angie was also an active member for many years in the Guadalupanas and loved to cook. Few may remember this fun fact, before she was a homemaker, she was a butcher at Chapman's Super Market.
