Help Support Vernon, Winter & Elijah in Memory of Angie

Dear friends, family, and community,

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Angie—a mother, wife, and friend whose compassion touched every life she encountered. Angie was a quiet strength and constant presence for so many. She had a servant’s heart—always the first to lend a hand, offer a warm meal, or speak an encouraging word. Now, it’s our turn to show up for the family she loved so dearly.

Angie leaves behind her devoted husband, Vernon, and their two beautiful children, Winter and Elijah. As many of you know, Winter and Elijah have special needs, and their world has been forever changed. Vernon is now navigating unimaginable grief while trying to remain strong and present for their children.

We are creating this fund to help cover Angie’s memorial service, expenses, and to support Vernon and the kids as they begin to rebuild life without her daily love and guidance. Every dollar helps lift the burden from Vernon’s shoulders and allows this family the space to grieve and heal.

In moments like this, we are reminded of God’s call to “carry one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). If Angie ever touched your life, if her kindness ever gave you hope, we ask you to give what you can—whether that’s through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this page.

Let us wrap Vernon, Winter, and Elijah in the same love and grace that Angie gave so freely.

With gratitude and love,

Lori Simpson & Kelly Dodson
