Angie had bravely battled multiple health conditions throughout her life. Angie enriched people's lives with her big heart, acts of kindness and zeal for life. She served as a minister and obtained a master's degree in marriage counseling. She lived in many places, including Texas, Louisiana, and finally Nashville and Murfreesboro. 

She is survived by her spiritual mother, Marilyn Brown; sister, Liz Roper; niece, Angeline Roper, spiritual daughter, Kamber Purcell; spiritual sons, Josh and Tim Kincaid and her lifelong bestie, Erma Weems Brooks

Per her wishes, Angie  will be cremated. A celebration of life will take place in the spring; information will be forthcoming. 

Angie brought us joy and life more abundantly. We will miss her so much. Fly angel, fly! Words cannot express how deeply we appreciate all the love, prayers and support shown to us during this difficult time. 

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things. Love never ends." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
