My name is Rachel, and I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my mother Michelle to try and help her, and the rest of our family while we try to navigate and mourn the loss of Angelica Bender, a beloved mother, and grandmother who leaves behind her two children Michelle and Eric, and grandchildren Rachel and Justin. She passed away last night on March 23th, 2026 at the age of 68 after fighting Esophageal cancer while on hospice care. This is an incredibly difficult and stressful time for our family while we try to honor her wishes and make sure she is comfortably laid to rest. Absolutely any help is appreciated beyond words, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
