Angie graduated from Scotland County R-1 High School in 1995 and attended Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, IA for a degree in Early Childhood Development. Those who knew Angie knew she had a passion for teaching the younger generations which was apparent in her career as a paraprofessional and bus driver at Scotland County R-1 Schools. She shared her love and pride in joy for her students, especially Casidey and Mason. Her love for children was most prevalent and noticeable when you saw her as a mother. If you ever asked her, she would tell you that her children were her world and she enjoyed becoming a parent to many through foster care. Having loved well over twenty children in her time as a foster parent, being a mother was her greatest blessing and joy. One of her favorite pass times she enjoyed was her animals, including her dog, George, her lemur, Lenny, along with her ponies and llamas as well as her most favorite time, was that she spent with her children and being a nana to her grandchildren, Angel and Kasanova. Angie is survived by her mother: Debbie; husband: Kelly; children: Tori (Nathan) Wohlers, Julian Valle, Rebekah Osborn, Letha, Ali, Maci, Dallas, Bradley Ward, and CiCi and Hallee Lewis, as well as siblings Christian Bradley, Stephanie Bradley, Jennifer AbuAwad; two grandchildren: Angel and Kasanova; her mother and father-in-law: Randy and Debbie Ward; along with several relatives and best friend turned sister, Pam (Bryan) Chance.
