Employed by the Ohio Department of Highways in Columbus, Ohio for nearly 20 years, she worked as the executive assistant to the Deputy Director of Operations, and later, to the Deputy Director of Location and Design.  Moving to State College when Milford transitioned from the Ohio State University to Penn State University in March 1962, she then opted to stay at home and be a homemaker and wife, doing an amazing job of raising her family.

Angie enjoyed serving others through several different organizations including Meals on Wheels, the Sight Loss Support Group, the American Red Cross, State College Women’s Club and various care centers.  She also contributed as a member of the State College Chapter #388 of the Order of the Eastern Star.  Attending the Church of Christ from her childhood on, her faith was a cornerstone of her personality.  Angie enjoyed working in her flower garden and was an avid reader and loved to learn.  She cared deeply for and appreciated her very special neighbors who were all like family to her.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials be given to the American Lung Association, or to a charity of the donor’s choice.
