Ange's journey through life was marked by love, commitment, and an unwavering sense of community.

Her roles as a wife and mother was one of her greatest joys and accomplishments, and her guidance and affection will live on through her children.

Ange's entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly as she and Donald were the proud owner/operators of D&A Optical, a medical distribution company. For 35 years, they worked side by side, ensuring the success of their business and the well-being of their employees. Her dedication to her work was matched only by her commitment to her community, as evidenced by her many years of invaluable service as the President of her Homeowners Association at Casa Blanca Villas as well as the President of the Sunshine Committee.

Beyond her business and community involvement, Ange's heart was always with her family and friends. She cherished the moments spent in the company of loved ones and found great joy in helping others. Her kindness was a guiding light that led her to form lasting bonds with those around her. Ange's love extended to her beloved pet dogs, Gabby and Sugar who were a constant source of companionship and joy throughout her life.
