Angela Lynette West

Angela Lynette Washington was born on June 1, 1958 to Loistine Washington-Sain and Clyde "Tony" Washington in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
She attended Pennfield High School earning her diploma from Battle Creek Central High School. After graduation she was an Executive Secretary at the Federal Center and Administrative Support at the VA medical center. Angela had a contagious smile and had a laugh that would announce her presence anywhere. A lifelong WWE fan, she also enjoyed hosting game nights playing spades, tunk, dominoes and bid whiz. She loved watching movies, cooking big dinners, singing in the choir, Praising the Lord, but she also did her share of listening to music and partying and she would dance and sing all night long. Above all Angela's love and faith could be witnessed through the love she offered her family spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was always willing to help a stranger or anybody in any way she could.
Angela was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 28, 2024, in Battle Creek Michigan.
