Angie was born on June 18, 1960 in Pana, IL one of four daughters to Gene Schmitz and Marie Horsthemke. She graduated from Pana High School, and then went on to a B.S. degree in Marketing from Southern Illinois University. While at Southern, Angie met her future husband, Ken and the two were married several years after graduating, on November 25, 1983. The two started married life in Bloomington, and then moved to Seattle, WA for several years, before returning to Central Illinois. She worked at State Farm for seventeen years. Angie worked part-time after the birth of the first of two daughters before finally leaving to stay home and pursue her first love, the raising and nurturing of her girls. After the girls were old enough, Angie took her skills back into the work force in the administrative office of Home Sweet Home Mission. She worked there until illness took her away in the summer of 2010.

She leaves behind her husband, Ken, of twenty-nine years and their two daughters, Emily and Anna, at home in Bloomington; her mother and stepfather, Marie and Bob Horsthemke of Pana, IL; her father, Gene Schmitz of Pana, IL; four sisters, Gina (Scott) Shuff of Pana, IL, Laura (Doug) French of Sparta,IL  Denise (Richard) Harmon of Floresville, TX, and Angie (John) Rutherford of Pana, IL; one brother, Robert (Jennifer) Horsthemke of Washington, IL; her father and mother-in-law, Jerry (Mary Jane) Detloff of Bloomington; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Preceding her in death are her grandparents.

Angie's unmistakable charm and character are evidenced by the friends and loved ones that surrounded her. Every life she touched, even if only briefly, was brightened. Friendships were always deep, caring and meaningful, and the needs of others always took precedence over hers. Her love and devotion to family was only surpassed by her love for her Lord and Saviour, in whose Kingdom she now resides. The best way to grasp the depth of her influence was to see the amazing prayer and support she received as she battled the illness that took her. It was truly beyond words.

Her legacy of beauty and grace, given to her by her remarkable mother, will now be carried on by her beautiful daughters. They and her husband, Ken go on now, in service to the Lord, in her memory and in the joyous promise of a heavenly reunion.

    Angie was special in many ways. Repeated confirmations of that have been written in her class of 78 email group. I don't think any words can capture the the impact of Angie leaving this earth so soon. As I extend my condolences, I pray that the same faith you have so remarkably demonstrated during Angie's illness will sustain you during this difficult time.

    Angie is such a caring and loving person. Her smile always made me smile. I know through many emails from our Class of 78 how loved she is. I am in awe how our group has pulled together for all - Ang, Ken, and the girls. I also seen it first hand when I would stop by St. Joe to see how she was doing at the beginning of her illness. We were all blessed to have Angie and Ken at our mini reunion in July. Those will always be special memories. I have admired your strength and courage through out Angie's illness. Please know I will continue to keep you all in my daily thoughts and prayers. With Love to All, Cindy Mizeur-Rakers Normal,IL

    Ken, your sister told my when your wife became ill, but I am just now learning the she has passed from this world to the next. I am so sorry, Ken. Though I did not know Angela, I know she must have been a lovely woman, as so many have given testimony. Know that an old friend is praying for you, for God to fill you with His peace and comfort. I am glad that you will see her again. Though it may seem a long time from now, eternity lasts longer than our finite minds can comprehend. Again, my sincere and deepest condolences to you and your family. Cheryl Tibbs Gnagey
