Angeline “Angie” Dangel, age 89, a current resident of Lake Bluff, IL formerly of Bridgeport, Oak Lawn, & Evergreen Park; died July 21, 2019. Loving mother of Lynn Dangel Costello, Karl (Laura) Dangel, & Kurt Dangel; adored grandmother of Ella Dangel Costello and David (Tessa) Dangel; cherished great grandmother of Landon, Krista, & Payton Dangel and Benjamin Ekman; daughter of the late Stephan & Florence Marasovich; sister of George (Diana) March & the late John March; she will also be dearly missed by many beloved nieces and nephews. The oldest child of Yugoslavian immigrants, and with a perfect command of the English language, Angeline helped manage her family from a young age. She negotiated their major transactions (such as buying their home) before she was ten years old. Raised in Bridgeport, she performed with her brothers, playing classical guitar concerts for Chicago's Croation communities through her teens. She graduated from DePaul University and went on to teach elementary school in Oak Lawn for over thirty years. Her favorite instrument was the guitar and her favorite place was the beach. She loved walking sandy beaches, swimming, family, good friends, books, music and dancing. She also loved bringing food wherever she traveled. Once, being asked why she'd arrived at O'Hare Airport, in winter, with a set of golf clubs; she replied, "How else am I going to sneak a leg of lamb on an airplane?” A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at Union Church of Lake Bluff, 525 E. Prospect Ave., Lake Bluff, IL 60044. For additional information contact Reuland & Turnbough Funeral Directors of Lake Forest www.RTfunerals.com or (847) 234-9649.
