Angela Gonsalves Obituary

Angela P. Gonsalves
1930 ~ 2019
Angela Perriera Gonsalves (Yvonne-Bung), left her mortal life peacefully on May 15, 2019 to be reunited with her husband Gerrard Gonsalves of 70 years.
Angela was born on October 17, 1930 in British Guiana, now Guyana S.A. She married Gerry on January 8, 1949 and began their family. She gave birth to 9 children, only 5 survived. On June 5, 1970, they all bravely, legally migrated to the U.S. to be part of the American Dream. She proudly became a U.S. Citizen in 1975. She worked in a nursing home and then for GrandCentral, Fred Meyer, then Smiths for more than 25 years.
She was a mother who deeply loved her children: Patrick (Diane), Jacqueline Lane (Gary), Errol (Tiniece), Francis (Rebecca), Mark (Melissa). She has 16 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. She was a true matriarch and fiercely led her family. She could be soft hearted and tough as nails. She traveled around the world and throughout the U.S. and Canada. She lived a good life. She did everything she wanted to do and saw everything she wanted to see. You could say she crossed off everything on her bucket list. Then she sat down in her chair and enjoyed her rest.
Angela is survived by her sister Clarice Collette and brother Bert; both residing in Guyana S.A.
Angie, enjoy this new adventure and naw . . . you won't need a freck for this one.
Viewing on May 20, 2019 from 9:00-10:45 a.m., with funeral to follow at 11:00 a.m., both held at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road. Interment, Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery.

Jackie, I just saw your mom`s obituary. She was a wonderful woman and I thought the world of her. I´m glad that she was able to do all she wanted to do in life. I have thought of you often and I am glad to see that you have remarried. Love, Sandy

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

It is with deep sadness that I learnt of aunt Yvonne's passing. I have very fond memories of her during my childhhod. I remembered her being an Avon (cosmetics) Rep in Guyana and the numerous products which she left behind when she migrated to the USA. As a young child, just eleven (11) years of age, I was ecstatic at the thought of having all the various cosmetics at my disposal and so I began experimenting (lol) at an early age. Those memories will forever be in my heart. I knew she was kind hearted and sweet but I also heard of all the good times she and mom (Stella) shared together. Dad also loved her. He spoke kindly of her. It was with deep sadness that dad learnt of her demise as he is now in bed unable to walk but all his faculties are intact. He is very sad indeed.

On my own behalf and on behalf of dad (Martin), and the family, I would like to extend sincere sympathy and condolences to the children, their spouses, grand children, brother and sister of dear aunt Yvonne. It is my prayer that God strengthen and keep all of you in perfect peace and love at this time of bereavement. We love you all !
