After graduating from Linton High School in 1952, she attended Aberdeen School of Business in Aberdeen, South Dakota. She then moved to Billings, Montana where she met her husband, Jim (James L.) Swain. They married October 1, 1955, and their lives were blessed with five children. Jim and Angie divorced in 1983, and in June 1987 she married Joseph Schatz and moved to Lodi, California. Joe passed away in October 2013, and in January 2015, Angie moved to Greeley, Colorado, to be closer to family.
