She attended St. Mary's School through the ninth grade.

Angeline leaves her husband, Clarence; her brother, Leo Zahn, Bismarck; her sister, Betty Evansich, Portland, Ore.; a very special sister-in-law, Dorothy Zahn, Beulah; some special second cousins whom she helped her cousin Rose Carroll rear, Bill Carroll, Pat Carroll and Lois Geertz, all of Billings, Mont., Phillis Walter, Columbus, Mont., and Sally Peralez, Hutchinson, Minn. They were some of her greatest loves; many wonderful brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; nieces; nephews; and cousins in the area and afar; three stepchildren; seven step-grandchildren; two step-great-grandchildren; and many wonderful neighbors and friends. You will always be in our hearts, Sweetheart.
