LEVIN, Angela Walkden "Angie" Angela "Angie" Walkden Levin passed away on Monday, October 30, at age 67, in Atlanta, GA, after a long and incredibly brave battle with breast cancer. Angie was born October 3, 1950 in Norwalk, CT, the daughter of Richard and Katherine Walkden of blessed memory who died many years ago. In 1972 she graduated from Gettysburg College, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree, and married her college sweetheart, Jay Levin. In 1974, Angie and Jay moved to Atlanta, where they launched their successful careers and started their wonderful family. From 1977 to 1992, Angie worked for Wyche Fowler as a staff assistant when he was Congressman and later Senator. She made many friends and had many adventures helping people with the problems life threw at them. During this time, she developed a passion for helping immigrants and refugees adjust to life in a new country and city. She also did significant military casework and took great joy in assisting our military men and women. In 1998, she became American Assistant at the Korean Consulate in Atlanta, which started her life-long love of all things Korean. In 2000, she started work at Georgia Tech at the Sam Nunn School's Center for International Strategy, Technology and Policy, founded by Professor John Endicott. Her work included being Secretary of the Limited Nuclear Weapons Free Zone for Northeast Asia; Administrator of the Korea Initiative; and Administrator of the General Ray Davis and Colonel Lesley Callahan Funds. She also coordinated numerous programs and events including a forum featuring General David Petraeus when he was the much-admired US CENTCOM Commander. As a volunteer, she was Secretary of the Southeast Asia Korea US Chamber of Commerce for many years; worked at the World Affairs Council of Atlanta; and became the Registrar of the Atlanta Council of International Relations. She also arranged dinners several times a year through Highpoint Episcopal Church (HECC) to assist a south Atlanta parish with an impoverished membership, and she and her family sponsored several refugee families in the 1980s through the National Council of Jewish Women. In addition to her husband Jay, Angie is survived by her beloved children Andrea Levin Christopher (Michael) and Adam Levin (Paige Dixon); her precious grandchildren Andrew and Alexander Christopher; her brothers Dave Walkden (Bess) and Phil Walkden (Theresa); brothers-in-law Harold Levin and Marty Levin (Carole); nieces Tracy and Dana Levin; niece Katie Walkden (Steve Calla); nephew Richard Walkden (Anne). A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held in Angie's honor Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 1:00 PM at H.M. Patterson & Son, Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Road, Sandy Springs, GA 30328.

I guess I’m a bit reluctant to try to post a memory here of Angela because, you see, I never knew Angela as an adult, but rather as a child. The two of us used to play together when we were small children.

My parents (Jerry & Jessica Cain) and Angela’s parents both attended the same church in Norwalk and both her parents and mine were good friends. They’d get together often and Angie and I would play together. In 1958, when I turned six, we moved out West and that stopped.

However, in 1962, when I was ten, we returned to the Northeast (Long Island) for three years. We would then occasionally make the drive up to Norwalk and attend church there. Later in the afternoon, we’d go over to the Walkdens and Angie and I would get together again.

There’s one incident that really stands out in my mind. On one such afternoon, when I was about ten or eleven, Angie and I were playing at her house and she mentioned something about a nearby pond. I was like “Oooh~! Let’s go~!” So, we walked to the pond and I somehow managed to fall in the water. According to my memory, it was not exactly a very warm day, either.

Angie took me back to her house and I was given a set of her father’s clothes to put on while they put mine in the dryer. To say that I was highly embarrassed would be an understatement. I wonder if Angie would’ve remembered that? Probably not but you never know.

In 1965, when I was 13, we moved back to Arizona a second time. After that, I lost all touch with Angie, although her parents and my parents continued to exchange Christmas cards for years. Down through the years, I would occasionally think about Angie and wonder where she went and what she was doing.

Recently, I was thinking about her again and did a Google search. That’s when I discovered that she is no longer with us. There is no doubt in my mind that Angie and her husband were good people, very good people. Angie is now in a better place. Perhaps someday I might see her again – somewhere way beyond the Blue.

I am only learning now of Angie's passing. I knew her well as a co-worker at Georgia Tech when we both interacted with Prof. John Endicott. I joked many times with Angie, with humor, about the travails of life and work. I am deeply saddened and extend, belatedly, my condolences to all her family and friends. I will miss her.

To Angie's family. I have fond memories of Angie from our days at Gettysburg - she was a year ahead of me though. I just read about her passing in the recent Gettysburg magazine. I just wanted to pass along my sincere sympathy to all. I can still clearly remember some specific chats we had on campus. I am so sorry.

We read the stories about Angie in the AJC and wanted you to know that you are both in our thoughts. We learned about some of the things Angie had done but, after reading the stories, we realized the scope of her impressive accomplishments were much broader. She will be missed by her workplace colleagues and family. We are grateful that we had a chance to know and enjoy Angies company (and yours) for a few weeks last summer.

With deepest sympathy,

We were colleagues on Wyche Fowler's staff. I fondly recall her keen wit, intelligence and compassion for our constituents. A remarkable woman who touched the lives of many, most especially mine.

Dear Jay, Andrea and Adam,
We knew this sad day would come sooner than we hoped. I'm so glad we were able to share the celebration of her birthday just a month ago.
Two mornings after that celebration, I woke up from a deep sleep reciting a favorite Biblical passage that I hadn't thought of in ages. It goes something like, Forget not hospitality to strangers for some have entertained angels unawares. Angie was no stranger, but I do believe she was and is an Angel. I feel blessed to have known Angie for over 40 years. We shall all miss her terribly.

She was a shining light and will be sorely missed. She will no doubt be watching over Alex & Drew all their lives. Be strong and know you are never alone.

Angie was truly an angel to so many people including myself. She was a caring person, and jump in and help any time she see someone need help. She made countless friends among Korean Americans, Korean diplomats, Korean War Veterans in Georgia. She called me just a week before passed and wants to send me a book, she said the book is a great book to read by all grandparents. We all miss her big smiles and friendship she shared with us for decades. Rest in Peace Angie!

Angie was the best of us and found the good in all people and circumstances.
I will miss her and her wittiness at Kiwanis, as I always enjoyed our lunch together. My thoughts and prayers to Jay and the Levin family during this time of loss. Angie will be missed.

Angie was a lovely person, whom I enjoyed knowing via Kiwanis. She was smart, thoughtful, and witty--always upbeat. I will miss her, but I rest in the confidence that her suffering is over while her spirit and love for people live on.

Angie and I were in our service club Kiwanis for years. She was a bright, upbeat light to all of us, elevating the conversation and bringing her wisdom to bear on any subject. She reminded us always of our international ties, particularly to the Korean people and culture.

How she loved her family and her friends. She was one of the best.

Angie was a delightful woman. She was intelligent and funny. She made friends wherever she went and saw the best in everyone. Her humor and warmth will be long missed by all who knew her. My prayers go to her family.

I have no words to express how sad I am. Very lucky to have been friends with Ange for so many years, from jr. hi. Her wit and kindnesses lighted so many lives. May her memory be for a blessing.

Angie was a beloved neighbor for a number of years whose positive attitude was infectious, whose care for my children made them feel special, and whose life simply was one we would all do well to emulate. Her professional life was so stimulating to hear about, and although she worked for great causes, she was always the most patient, most kind, and loving person I have known.
