Angela Blasse passed away on December 16, 2025, at the age of 88. Known affectionately as Angel to her family, and Angie to her friends, she was a beloved educator and coach who left a lasting impact on many through her dedication to teaching and her vibrant personality.
Angie was born on August 22, 1937, and after completing her education at the College of New Jersey and Montclair State, she embarked on a rewarding career in education.

Together with her partner, Adriann Errickson, she relished in exploring the U.S., with frequent cross-country trips that spanned from New Jersey to California and Florida. In her younger days she played softball with the Marauders in New Jersey, and also a team in California.
