Carol Ann Angeli

Carol Ann was born on Sept. 7, 1936, in Waukesha, Wis., the daughter of the late Carl and Virginia (Toner) Meier. She graduated from Fort Atkinson, Wis. High School with the Class of 1954. She then attended St. Mary School of Nursing in Rochester, Minn. graduating in 1957.

Carol Ann married Richard Angeli on Aug. 23, 1958, at St. John the Evangelist Church in Rochester. The couple made their home in Iron River where she spent their first several years together as a homemaker raising her four young children. She resumed her nursing career in 1973 working primarily in the Iron County Hospital System, retiring as the OR Department Manager in 1998.

Carol Ann enjoyed reading in the solitude of her home, entertaining her family and friends at The Angeli Farm, summer weekends on Hagerman Lake with her brother Jim’s family and her special winter Friday nights at the kitchen table with her dearest friends Annie and Franzie. In retirement, she volunteered at St. Agnes Catholic Church as well as St. Vincent DePaul, and she truly enjoyed her long afternoons at George Young’s golfing with Max, Carolynn, Nancy, Josie and whomever else she could get to join her.

Richard preceded her in death on Feb. 15, 2003. She was also preceded in death by her brother, James E. Meier.
