Born on March 29, 1963, in Portsmouth, Virginia, to the late Cobert Sr. and Peggy Mickens, Angela's life was a testament to grace, courage, and an extraordinary capacity for generosity.

Angela was a proud graduate of Booker T. Washington High School and continued her education at Virginia Commonwealth University. She honorably served her country in the United States Navy and later retired from the United States Postal Service. Beyond these achievements, Angela's life was defined by the warmth she brought to every room she entered, the unwavering spirit she showed in every challenge, and the kindness she extended to all she met.

She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved daughter, Alexandria; her six brothers, Cobert Jr. (Renee), John (Cathy), Eric, Randal, Brian, and Walter (Mary); her two sisters, Carol and Jeanese; and a host of other dear relatives and countless friends who will miss her deeply.
