Angel previously worked at Centralia Manor Nursing Home, Davita Dialysis and as a disc jockey for her father’s D.J. Service.
Angel’s days were filled with simple pleasures, she enjoyed watching Lifetime movies and never got tired of the timeless romance of “Titanic.” She loved dancing, where she moved with a grace and passion that was truly her own. Yet, it was in the kitchen where Angel truly flourished, with her secret chicken wing recipe which was a favorite among her friends and family. In her younger years, Angel cherished the times playing Barbies with her sister and dressing up at her great grandmother Gyro’s house. In high school Angel enjoyed being a member of the marching band, where she played the flute. Angel’s companionship with her cherished dog, Hershey, exemplified her capacity for love and care. Above all, Angel’s role as a mother was her crowning achievement. The pride and joy she felt watching her son grow, learn, and excel on the basketball court was unmatched. Her unwavering support and encouragement were the backbone of his successes, both on and off the court. Angel will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Pallbearers will be Gian Griffin, Steve Perkins, Leldan Perkins, Robert Holman, Anthony Perkins, Gerard Perkins.
