Loved by all, Angela died peacefully in her sleep on May 14, 2020. She was the sparkle of joy in our life and so many friends and family. She left a big hole in all our hearts. She was always there to lend a hand and provide laughter and smiles to everyone she met. She was an avid animal lover. She has rescued many a cat and dog and was a member of the Paws and Claws Humane Society. She accomplished so very much in her short life, two beautiful children and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. She was working as a paralegal in Rochester, Minnesota and looking forward to starting a new career as a corrections officer. Wanting to help inmates to have a better life when they are released from prison. Her heart was so very big and she wanted to share that love and friendship with everyone she knew. Angela is survived by her daughter Emily Nesbitt; her son Dennis James Nesbitt, III; her brother Perry A. Bennett and his wife Arlyn; her step-brother Bryan Dumm; her parents, Betty and Tim Dumm; her biological father Perry Lee Bennett, loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and hundreds of friends from all over. She has blessed every life she touched with her beautiful smile, laughter and kindness. Angela was taken far too soon but she carries a piece of each and everyone of us that ever met her. My darling daughter, We will keep your memory alive until we join you in Gods Heavenly Garden."

Your sassy daughter, Angela. Love you. Mom

Your sassy daughter, Angela. Love you. Mom

I visited you today and everyday. I think of you always. I see your beautiful face on my wall and in my photos. Emily is doing fine but still has a long way to go. We talk about you often and I tell her about the good times. I have good doctors for her so she is doing okay. I love you my darling daughter and you are forever in my heart. Mom

I miss you terribly. I'm doing the best I know how to take care of Angela and help James when needed. I wish you were here with us. I love you my darling daughter. You made me so very proud. You are always in my heart forever. Mom

I found this among Angela's things. I thought I would share it with you all. "God looked around His garden, and found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you but you did...

This is quite the surprise. Angela was working at Winn Dixie in the miricle mile when i met her. We went to prom together and hung out some her senior year with jessica and art. My condolemces to the family. She was a beautiful person

We thank you for your kind words. It is still hard to believe for me as well that I can't just go fly up to Rochester to spend a week or two with my beautiful daughter. James just had a son and I pray that Angela is smiling looking at that beautiful baby. God bless you all.

Fly High to my Clarinet Classmate!. We challenged each other for years in the THS band. She was such a wonderful person growing up its sad to see another classmate gone so soon. C/O '97 rulz

Betty, James and Emily, I cant even express how heartbroken we are for you all. It's still just so hard to process that Angela is gone and I won't see her beautiful smile again. She was such a wonderful friend and she will be missed immensely. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we wish you all peace and comfort.
