Angela A. "Angie" "Angie" Haxton

Angela A. "Angie" Haxton, a beacon of love and joy, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2025, in Rowlett, Texas. Born on December 9, 1968, in the picturesque city of Naples, Italy, Angie was a cherished daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother whose warmth touched all corners of her world.

Born into a military family, Angie's early years were spent living in many areas of the US and Italy. Her parents, George W. Knadler, and her late mother, Laurel Jean (Ramsell) Knadler, instilled in her a zest for life that would define her every action. Her adventurous spirit eventually led her to Texas, a place she would come to call home and where she found her beloved husband, Charles "Chuck" Glidden. Their union on August 5, 2017, in Mesquite, TX, was a testament to true love and partnership.

A dedicated mother, Angie's heart was always with her children: David (Raenea Smith) Bjerke, Ashleigh (Java) Morris, William (Becky) McCauley, Mercadies (Michael Puckett) Briggs, and Dakota Briggs. She reveled in the joys of her grandchildren, Ashton Williams, Madiline Bjerke, and Lawson Morris, each of whom brought her immeasurable happiness.

Angie's siblings, Marsha Haxton Myrick, Kathryn (Haxton) Mueller, Katherine "Kathy" Hamer, Christina "Tina" Glidden, John (Jennifer) Haxton, Patrick Haxton, Stuart "Stu" Hamer, and Terrance "TJ" Glidden, will remember her as the glue that bound the family with love and laughter. She was an adored aunt to her nieces, Charlotte Hamer, Isabella Hamer, Kaitlyn (Glidden) Truax, and Bethany Wheeler, and her nephews, Daniel Myrick, Alexander Haxton, Kevin Ohlrich, Jackson Krugman, Adam Glidden, Elijah Tillison, and Jacob Boynton. Preceding her in death were her beloved brother Alfred Haxton III and brother-in-law Sam Myrick.

Angie's professional life was marked by her years of dedicated service at Cindi's New York Deli in Dallas, from 2007 until her retirement in 2024. Her colleagues and customers alike were drawn to her passionate and loving nature, making her a favorite among the deli's patrons.

Creativity was Angie's haven, and she found joy in crafting, particularly in assembling intricate Christmas Villages that became a cherished holiday tradition. A worldly collector, her array of Nutcrackers and collector spoons from around the globe was a testament to her love for diverse cultures. An avid reader, Angie often had a James Patterson novel in hand, and she delighted in the challenge of puzzles. Her fondness for cruises allowed her to explore new horizons, returning with stories and experiences that she eagerly shared with her family. And her love of music, especially 80's Hair Rock, was a shared passion with her family and friends.

Above all, Angie was happiest when surrounded by her family, especially her husband, and her children and grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. Nothing brought her greater happiness that seeing her family together, sharing laughter, stories, and love. Her presence was a source of comfort, strength, and joy to everyone who knew Angie. Her legacy is one of a generous heart, a warm spirit, and an unwavering love for those in her life. Her memory will live on as a reminder of the beauty of a life well-lived, full of devotion and joy.
