Angela Joy Giffin

Angela Joy Giffin (née Lathey) didn’t do things by halves, and she certainly didn’t do them by anyone else’s rules.

Born on 21 September 1967, Angela was curious before she could walk and feisty before she could talk. She asked “why not?” when the world said “why?” — and then went ahead and did it anyway. She was playful with people, fierce with ideas, and had a laugh that could fill a room from the doorway.

She was self-invented in the best possible sense. Angela never stopped growing, never stopped surprising the people who loved her, and never once mistook being polite for being kind — she was the real thing. Wife to Marc, she made the ordinary feel like an adventure and the everyday feel like it mattered.

Angela passed on 5 April 2026. The world is quieter without her, but every person she touched carries a bit of that spark. If you knew her, you already know what we mean.
