Ms. Angermuller was my favorite nursing instructor. She was articulate, funny, and smart. I just heard about her passing today, and wish that I could have thanked her one more time for her firm guidance during my college years. Please accept my condolences.

Ms. Angermuller was funny, witty, but she always made sure you knew and understood the material. The knew neuro backwards, forwards, inside and out after her battle with Guillian Barre. She and Dr. Goldman's wife were the only two people in the area to be neuro certified at the time. She said it was a very hard certification to get, but shared with me the book I had to buy to prepare for it. I still have that book and I will take that certification exam. I just haven't done it yet. She instilled in me the love of taking care of neuro patients. I forever thank her for what she taught me. Rest in peace Sarah and prayers to her family to ease the pain of her loss. She was a wonderful nurse and professor.

Sarah was a legend! She was such a vital part of my nursing education that I failed to consider her mortality; I just counted on the fact that she would always be among us. And she is, I think, for her spirit lives on and on in her family, friends, and students. God bless you, dear Sarah. You were one of a kind, and I will never forget you.

Sarah was a legend! Like so many others, i stood in awe of her skills as a nurse and as an educator. She was such a vital part of my nursing education that I completely forgot she was a mere mortal and would one day leave our midst for life on the Other Side. I am certain she has already set up shop and is teaching away! God bless you, Sarah. You will always be remembered.

I am greatly saddened to hear of Ms Sarah's passing, but know in my heart she rode the express train to the gates!
It was an honor and privilege to work alongside her in the Emergency Department. Her compassion, flexibility, and critical thinking touched me on a personal level after my experience as a patient. Her battle-forged strength and nurse humor were a constant inspiration.
My prayers are with her and her family.

As a former nursing student of Mrs. Angermuller I'm so saddened to hear of her passing. I can just picture her now, at the front of the class teaching. It was obvious teaching was her stewardship and passion. Rest assured, she mentored a great deal of nursing students and her impact has affected more lives than she will ever know. My condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one but take comfort in knowing hers was a life well lived.... Sheila Cini, RN-BSN
