In Loving Memory of Angel J. Cruz

In loving memory of our beautiful friend Angel Jonell Cruz.

Friends & Family wish to honor her memory by adopting a memorial bench through The Trail Foundation

Angel was an amazing friend who lived her life to the fullest. She loved to run the trail at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, TX. This memorial bench will provide her Family and Friends a place to visit and reflect on fond memories together with Angel. The donation also contributes to the Trail foundation's mission of protecting and enhancing this green space in Austin so all can enjoy it.

The memorial bench could be 1 of 4 still available for adoption, but we are looking to adopt the one located on the boardwalk section of the trail overlooking the water, which is located on the East Bluff of the map.

Obituary

 

Our beautiful, beloved daughter, sister, and friend, Angel Jonell Cruz, 37, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 11, 2021.

 

Angel was born in Roswell, New Mexico on November 13, 1984, to Julia Marie (Foster) Cruz and Faust Neria Cruz. She was the sixth of eight children. She enjoyed reading, playing the flute, and participating in cross-country running and volleyball in school. She graduated from J.M. Hanks High School in 2003. She attended the University of Texas at El Paso, but was ready for a new city and adventure, so she transferred to St. Edward's University in Austin, TX. She graduated from St. Edward's University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration in Accounting and she was pursuing her master's degree.

 

Angel was a sweet, beautiful, amazing daughter who had a big heart and a kind, gentle soul. Angel's contagious smile always lit up the room. She loved spending time with her family and friends, attending concerts, and listening to music. She was always there to lend a helping hand in any way she could. We are so proud of her and will forever cherish our memories of her. While our beautiful Angel was taken from us far too soon, we know that she is in heaven, free of this world's troubles and wondering when we will join the celebration there.
