Angie moved to Indianapolis when she was 14, met the love of her life when she was 16 and married him a year later on January 23, 1954. Fifty-six years later, Russ Newell was still the love of her life. In addition to her chief role as wife and mother, Angie worked in a variety of jobs before she and Russ formed Newell’s Commercial Cleaning business in Fort Wayne. They operated their business together for 12 years before retiring. They both re-entered the work force and were employed at Walmart in Huntington. Angie was a cashier and enjoyed talking to customers and co-workers. Those who did not know her personally knew her smile and her mothering nature. She genuinely cared about those she served. Angie worshiped and celebrated her faith at Faith Community Church of God. She navigated her life in a way that reflected her dedication to God and His principles. She cherished her church family. Angie always said she was born to be a mother and her four children agree. She devoted her life to her family and together she and Russ raised Jane (Dan) Neufelder, Neenah, Wisconsin; Carol (Steve) Cline, South Bend, Indiana; David Newell, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania; and Debbie (Scott) Janicki, South Bend, Indiana.
