For the last 31 years, CBC became Angie's 2nd family, where she made many everlasting friendships. Some of her fondest times were attending company BBQs and annual summer plays with her family. She loved a good concert and jamming to Live bands or dancing to Tejano music. Angie frequently traveled with her sisters and children on memorable vacations and had a love for nature. You could catch Angie fishing, camping, BBQing, or most importantly of all, creating memories with her family. Angie raised a loving son, Angel Venegas, and three beautiful daughters, Elizabeth Venegas, Evett Mariscal, and Mercedes Juliette Mariscal, who will continue to carry on her legacy of kindness and love. She dedicated her life to her children and grandchildren, always instilling her strong Faith in all of them. Her grandchildren will forever remember their traditions of making s'mores, taco pizzas, enchiladas, and carving pumpkins. Her children will forever remember their bike rides through Parkade, late-night cruises, spontaneous road trips, and summer walks.
