Our hearts are heavy as we share that our beloved Tia Angie Lugo passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 12, 2024.

We have created this GoFundMe as a response to many of our family, friends, and loved ones asking how they can help during this difficult time. Any donations raised will help assist with funeral costs and all remaining funds will go to her only daughter, Yaneli, who is a Senior at Sterling High School in Baytown, Texas.

Tia Angie lived for Yaneli - her goal was to live to watch her graduate from high school. She endured countless medical procedures, and Yaneli was right by her side learning how to care for her since she was a young girl. Although Tia Angie passed just a few months before high school graduation, we know she will be her Guardian Angel guiding her through all her Senior Year activities, and ultimately, college.

About our Tia Angie:

Angie was born on December 22, 1966, in Houston, Texas to Margarita Lugo Ramirez. She attended Lee College and pursued Cosmetology, where she found joy in helping others feel seen, valued, and beautiful – inside and out.

Faith was the cornerstone of Angie’s life. A devoted member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, she served joyfully and tirelessly, sharing God’s word and living out His teachings through acts of humility, love, and service. Her role in the National Nocturnal Adoration Society reflected her unwavering dedication to her faith and her community. Her life was a testament to love, humility, and compassion.

Angie had a way of making everyone feel loved. Her kindness was boundless, her faith unshakable, and her presence a source of comfort and joy. Whether it was laughing over a game of lotería, singing her heart out during karaoke, or offering a simple hug, Angie made every moment feel meaningful.

Her greatest joy was her daughter, Yaneli. Yaneli was the heart of Angie’s world—the source of her deepest pride, her greatest laughter, and her quiet strength. Together, they created a home filled with love and warmth, where even the smallest moments—playing with their beloved dog, Max, or sharing stories—became cherished memories. Angie was not only Yaneli’s mother but her greatest champion, her constant comfort, and her closest friend.

No amount is too small, and every contribution is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, we kindly ask you to keep Angie, Yaneli, and her family in your thoughts and prayers, and to share this fundraiser with your network.
