Angeline is survived by her loving sons, Paul Baetz and Christopher Baetz; her grandchildren, Audrey and Alex; and the daughter she never had, Nancy Preble.  She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother Norman Naumoff and her sister Daisy Naumoff.

A private memorial service will be held with Pastor Christopher Fairbairn from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church officiating the service.  Mrs. Baetz will be laid to rest next to her husband at Glen Eden Memorial Park in Livonia.
