Angela was born on September 26, 1953, in Dubuque, Iowa, daughter of Lawrence and Ann (Norton) Dillon.

Angie attended Visitation Academy for 3 years, graduated from Wahlert Catholic High School, Class of 1971, and went to work.  She worked as a clerk for St. Vincent de Paul and in the laundry and as a candy-striper at Mercy Hospital.  She had a knack for storytelling and was a dreamer who kept people entertained for hours.  Angie loved her daughter and always looked forward to spending time with her.  She was a people person who loved life and lived it to the fullest.  We are saddened at Angie’s passing, but know that she is now resting peacefully, free from the health challenges she has faced these past years.
