Anges lived life to the fullest, holding friends and family close at all times. She approached everything with a "How can I help?" mentality and carried it out with a smile on her face. This spirit and tenacity served her patients well for 45 years at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, KY. Spending most of her career at Central Baptist in home healthcare, she considered her patients as part of her extended family. Her caring nature went beyond her professional life. She and her husband volunteered many times with the Shriners to transport children to the Shriners Hospital. Celebrate with us, the life of a woman that knew how to celebrate life herself, by giving to others.
