Dorothy Angus
Dorothy Ann Angus, 81, of Midland, passed away peacefully with family by her side, Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born to Raymond and Mabel McDonald on June 17, 1939 in Rosebush, Mich. as one of nine children that grew up as a loving, tight knit family.
Dorothy met her husband, Charles Angus Jr. at a movie theater where Chuck worked. They married on Nov. 27, 1958 and went on to have five children, Judy, Tammy, Bill, Tim and Nancy. They lived in Midland ever since.
In addition to being a dedicated and loving mother, Dorothy also loved being with family, crocheting afghans for each grandchild's graduation, camping including being camp host at Wilson State Park for many years, playing Scrabble, doing crossword puzzles and holding various volunteer roles at St. Brigid Church and throughout the community. Dorothy worked for Midland Public Schools for over 28 years, working at Midland High School, Adams Elementary and Mills Elementary as a building secretary. Her entire life, she held an unwavering faith in God, which she shared with those who surrounded her.

I knew Dorothy as the welcoming face in the front office of elementary schools. Shortly in to the school year, she knew children's names, their sibling group and many parents. She often spoke proudly of her children and Grandchildren. I'm sure you will all miss her!

We will always remember her smile and laugh. She was a kind woman whom my children adored and the neighborhood watchdog.
Mr. Angus, we are so completely saddened for your loss and have thought of you daily since we heard of her passing.
Rest In Peace, Mrs. Angus. We will always love you.

I met Dorothy while she was a volunteer at Senior Services. She always had a kind word and was a genuinely caring person. After I got to know her from there I would see her at the store or out somewhere and she would always take time to ask how things were going. I enjoyed learning about her grandkids and family that she was so proud of! I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful woman. You all are in my prayers during this difficult time.
