I love you so much grandma your my everything♥️

Dearest Tangela, I met you within the 24 hours of being in the United States 36 years. In that time, you have meant so much to me. You've been my "in-law", friend, coworker, confidant, adviser, supporter, and prayer warrior.

You definitely made a difference in my life's trajectory as you had done for so many others. You devoted almost 4 decades of your life to the care and service of our most vulnerable people in New York State.

You were one of the most intelligent person that I've crossed paths with. You always gave viable input to issues and discussions that I always found very insightful.

You're gone too soon but I pray you've done enough good on this earth and committed your life to Christ that I believe your place is guaranteed in God's eternity.

I pray for comfort and consolation for your son and bereaved family.

Thank you for being my friend. May your sweet soul rest in perfect peace my dear friend.

Our sweet Tangela. I'm sitting here folding the pajamas you bought for Lilly and missing you. Thank you for loving on our family so well. I'm going to miss your laugh and encouraging words. I know you are with Jesus and for that I am grateful, but we miss your presence here. Thank you for being our Fuquay family.

Ms. Tangela wasn't just my neighbor she was family. We lived across the street from each other for the last 5 years. Over that 5 years she taught me so much. My life fell apart in 2024 and our driveway talks and tears kept me going. She'd just know somehow that I'd had a bad day. She'd wave me over and just let me cry or vent. Just would speak life and God's truth over me and my babies. Her faith never wavered. Even when unbearable things happened. We shared so many good moments together. You couldn't leave her house sad. She would lift you right back up and make you see you could do it because God is good and faithful. We would pray together all the time and she'd never say no to a bacon and egg on a roll. ❤️‍🩹 She was my second Mama and my babies Granny Tangela. We will miss her forever. But know she is saying a big "you know that's right!" Up in heaven right now 🫶🏻 we love you so much Ms. Tangela thank you for all the prayers and love and care you gave me and my babies over the last 5 years.

Oh my heart was broken to get the news of her passing. We were childhood friends when she lived in North Carolina, and every time she would come home to visit. She was a joy to be around, we shared so many good memories of our youth. Tan you will greatly be missed by your family and friends. Sleep peacefully Sweetie

Tangela had a smile that could light up even the heaviest moments. No matter what she was going through, she chose to meet the world with warmth and grace. She carried her pain silently, never letting it harden her heart, never allowing it to dim the kindness she gave so freely to others.

She was always there when someone needed help — not for recognition, not for praise, but simply because that was who she was. Selfless, gentle, and strong in a way that didn't need to be loud. Dear Tangela, you will be missed and forever remembered❤️❤️❤️

I met her a few years ago finding her to be a very sweet person. She acted as if she had been knowing me forever. Rest peacefully Tan.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
