Angela was a vibrant soul, an awesome mother, sister, daughter and friend. She was the sunshine in a dark room, and she'd make you smile when you wanted to cry. She had many endeavors throughout her short life. Throughout high school Angela was varsity cheer captain and runner-up for Flower Festival Queen 1992. Angela was an aspiring model and appeared in several music videos, but her passion was in the jewelry business. Many friendships originated through her years at Crescent Jewelers. Angela was a passionate fashionista and made a statement everywhere she went. Angela enjoyed gathering with friends and family, binge watching a good show, relaxing at the beach or shopping. Angela was our ecstatic storyteller and comedian, even if it was at her own expense. Angela had a love for her son like no other. She was able to count on him for anything.

Angela was an employee of the DMV in Lompoc and was loved and admired by her coworkers and customers. Angela impacted many lives with her kindness, wit and beautiful smile.  She is loved by many and will be missed by all.
