Evangeline C. Ortino

I can remember when Steph's Mom and Dad would walk into school and visit her or help her set up her room at times. They were always smiling and so proud of their daughter and what she contributes to society. I would say they instilled her lifelong learning style. Her demeanor was from them. Her persistence is from them also. Great family to get to know.

Leo and Vange are together again, a wonderful couple. She will be missed by us all and our family will miss it's matriarch. I can picture them, Leo in a tux and Vange in a flowing purple gown. I am sorry I could not make it back for the funeral. My thoughts are with you in our loss. With Love, Kevin

Stephanie, I met your mom only a few times when she visited you at school. Even in those few times it was evident that she was a special lady. After reading her obituary I couldn't help but with I had know her better. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings, Carol Nama

I am so saddened by the passing of Vange Ortino. She was very important to my sisters and me as we were growing up and we loved her dearly. I moved to Philadelphia in 1969, but every time I went to Ann Arbor I tried to visit with Vange and Leo. My heart goes out to you in your sorrow, Stephanie and Lynn, I wish I could be there to mourn our loss with you. Her memory will be eternal for me.

Met Vange many years ago at her daughter Lynn's home . We hit it off right away, with having many things in commons . such as our Love for BUtterlfies, our Lord and people in general. after a few short hours seems like we new each other for years . RIP Vange and sing and dance with the angels, till we meet again.

Few people have achieved the love and respect which Vange did. She will be greatly missed by many people for years to come.She was SPECIAL.

With sympathy wishing you many peace filled memories 2nd Thessalonians 3:16 "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace constantly in every way. May the Lord be with all of you."

It is comforting to know Aunt Vange is in the arms of the Lord and reunited with her beloved husband Leo. She will surely be
missed and will live in our hearts forever. Aunt Vange was a very special person, whose loving presence, joy and inspiration will continue to live in our memories. Lynn and Stephanie may your own happy memories be a source of comfort to you now. With love and blessings Mike and Audrey
