Where to start, I have known the Griffiths since I met Linda my freshman year of high school. Angie and Henry made me feel like part of the family right from the get go. Learning that my mom didn’t drive, Angie never hesitated to come get mom and go to lunch or whatever. Over the years, I may not have seen or talked to her as much as I wanted to, but we always stayed in touch. When I was working at the hospital in Mooresville, she always made a point of stopping by my department to say hi and get a hug. I will truly miss this amazing woman, who was like a 2nd mom to me. It eases my heart a bit to know that she is with Henry and her family now in heaven. Wonder if there is a Pizza Hut there as well. I love you, Angie, and will miss seeing your smiling face.

We grew up like sisters. Aunt Flee was 6 yrs. Old when I was born in my grandparents home . I lived there until I was almost 7. My father was a Pow in Ww11. Came home very sick.It was hard for my mother so we lived with grandma and grandpa Badgley until 1949 ,when we moved to Brown County.
Aunt Flee and I were more like sisters than aunt and niece…I always looked up to her and loved her dearly. That relationship continued as we grew up. She was always there when I needed her…We were Buds….
I will miss you sweet Aunt..but am so glad you are now with all our loved ones who have gone before.What a glorious reunion is going on in Heaven….
I know the choir of Heavenly Angels are rejoicing as you play your beautiful music.Uou will always be the very best pianist….
I love you and miss you…UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN….PAULETTE.
I have so many great memories of Angie she was always so thoughtful and giving. I am really going to miss our long conversations and her words of advice. She has been like a grandmother to me and im grateful to have gotten to know her over the last ten years. She would come into pizza hut and she loved to talk and people watch i truly looked forward to seeing her every week. You will be miss very much by many!!
I knew Angie for over 20 years, we first met at millers merry manor where I was a nurses aide taking care of her mom, she was also a volunteer there and we blew up many balloons together, as I moved on to the senior center Angie was the organ player for our bible study every Tuesday, I will miss her coming through the door saying morning glory, a wonderful friend I will miss dearly
Elfleda will be greatly missed by the Waggoner family in Virginia. We had so many good memories with her and Henry.In my prayers for peace at this difficult time.
Angie was always one of favorite patients at Gossweiler Dentistry. We are all shocked and saddened at her sudden passing. She always brought a smile to all of us when she came in the door. We will definitely miss her tremendously. I won’t be able to drive past the Tamale Place without thinking of her. We had to schedule her appointments so that she could go there for lunch after her dental appointments. Rest in Peace, sweet Angie!!! (Charlie or Linda, please call me. Connie) Sending prayers to her family.
So sorry to hear about Angie’s passing. Very sweet lady. I met Angie at Pizza Hut.
My sympathy to all the family for Angie’s passing. We met at Miller’s where Angie devoted many hours helping family, friends, and playing beautiful piano. I was privileged to meet several family members and always enjoyed visiting all, absolutely delightful. God bless you. Libby Herman
