Obituary of Angela Maria Smith

Angela Maria Borgman was born on October 19, 1948 in Regensburg, Germany. She was the only daughter of three children born from the union of Charles Rodney and Anna Maria (Klobl) Borgman. She graduated from Shore Regional High School in New Jersey with the Class of 1966. Angela married the love of her life, Michael J. Smith on June 26, 1971 in Oceanport N.J. From this union came the birth of two children. Angela cared for her family as a homemaker. She was devoted to the needs of her husband, children, and grandchildren - who were her pride and joy. Angela was always pleasant to be around. Her main focus in life was to make those around her happy. She did whatever it took to accomplish this, often spoiling those she cared about. Angela was a fabulous cook, and an avid cookbook collector. She loved to entertain at her home. Her short trips with her best girlfriends held some of her fondest memories. Angela Maria Smith, age 68, of Newport passed away on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at ProMedica Monroe Skilled Care and Rehabilitation Center. Her passing was preceded by both of her parents and her brother: Rodney Borgman. To cherish her memory, she leaves her beloved husband: Michael Smith; a son: Michael Timothy (Jodi) Smith of Luzerne, Michigan; a daughter: Maria Ann (AJ) Renn of Carleton; and four grandchildren: Felicity Grace Renn, Griffin Michael Renn, Taylor Ann Smith, and Clifford Eugene Smith, her brother Michael Borgman, her beloved nieces and nephew, and grandnephew. A Celebration of Her Life is being planned for a future date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Merkle Funeral Service, North Monroe; 2442 North Monroe Street (734) 384-5185.
