Angela was born at her home in Clarence, MO. She fondly remembered her mother and father telling many stories of her growing up with them. Angela took care of them in their later years at their home. As a child, Angela enjoyed drawing and playing games like softball and kickball with her siblings. She loved all her 14 siblings but was especially close to her little sister Tracy.

She would often go camping with her church group. After school, she lived in numerous states. She went to college and eventually found her love of working at a bank, becoming a loan officer. She learned multiple languages, including Spanish and ASL, which helped her care for many children in her home.
