This GoFundMe page is to raise funds for services and a Celebration of Life for Angel.
For all of those who were blessed to have met Angel, you know she would give you the shirt off her back. She would listen without judgement and love without bounds. No family should have to be burdened with financial constraints during such an already difficult time.
Angeline E. “Angel” (Watts) Baldwin, age 55, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 at her home in New Bedford. She was a beloved mother, a brilliant partner, and a beautiful soul.
Angel was born in Attleboro and was the daughter of the late Raymond and Muriel A. (Chambers) Watts. Her father was a hardworking steam fitter pipe welder, belonging to the Brockton Local, and a loving family man who she had truly treasured. Her mother was a loving and deep-feeling woman who was an active part in the lives of her grandchildren. Angel had always remained strong and became a rock for her family during their passing. She was a graduate of Apponequet Regional High School in Lakeville and she earned her degree in nursing from the Lemuel Shattuck School of Practical Nursing in Boston, ranking top five in her class. Angel had a great love of learning and understood the importance of education; she was always a student and sought out opportunities for growth and learning everyday.
Angeline was an LPN with several local healthcare facilities for ten years before waitressing at several restaurants for twenty years including the Orchid of Hawaii in Lakeville. Most recently, she owned and operated the Crooked Cottage with her sister, Pamela Jolin. They created semi-precious stone jewelry and hand-crafted artisan goods for the past several years. Angel had found a great thrill and supreme pride in producing lovingly crafted products by manipulating wires and fabrics. No matter what she had done, she always gravitated towards being with people and learning about their lives. She would always light up any room she had entered, whether it was by the side of a bed while nursing or the hall of a dining room. Angel had found her greatest joy in helping others and her generosity knew no end.
Angel was a community oriented person and enjoyed helping others in the New Bedford community. She savored cooking and loved feeding others in need. She had believed in the power of a hot meal and the comfort she could bring others with her simply delicious dishes. Angel was passionate in helping those involved in domestic violence and believed that healing came from speaking from an honest heart. Angel spent her time making and passing out masks to the homeless and essential workers in our area. She always knew that simple gestures had the greatest and most gratifying outcomes. She was also a Parent Helping Parents Facilitator of Massachusetts in New Bedford. One of her proudest moments is that through these outreach programs she was able to tell her story and help to guide others. She always made an effort to give back to her community as it had helped her so much and so many times during her own hardships.
It was always Angel’s dream to have a large and loving family. She told stories to others about being a little girl wishing and hoping for a bustle or two of children. That little girl’s dream was one of the only things Angel had always wanted to stay the same. She raised seven beautiful people. Seven kind-hearted and intelligent children. Four brazenly independent, loving, and headstrong women. Three gentle, determined, and devoted young men. Angel always gave everything to her children and she always put them before anything else. She loved them almost to foolishness. For her whole family, Angel was a beacon of well-placed optimism and stark reality. She was full of brash wisdom and motherly scorn but rounded out her impact with unconditional love. Although she was grounded in the bounds of her reality she dreamed of so much for her children; she told them, “You will change the world, for you have already changed mine.”
She is survived by her partner of more than twenty years Douglas Pine, her seven children, and her grandchildren. Cailin Ulich and her two children, Emmanuel and Aiyana, Katarina Kultgen and her husband Brett, their two children Natalia and Brett, Evan Baldwin and his two children Katerina and Liam, Delana Baldwin and her son, as well as Angel’s son David Watts, daughter Eva Watts-Pine, and her youngest son Aaron Watts-Pine. She is also survived by her two sisters Pamela Jolin and Raeanne Watts and three nieces, Melinda Martinez, Jessica Martinez, and Megan Reese who were like three more daughters to her, along with seven great-nieces and -nephews, John, Ben, Hannah, Devin, Deandre, Isabella, and Jasmine.
