YOU'RE WATCHING MINNESOTA'S
MOST WATCHED STATION.
THIS IS WCCO4 NEWS.
A TEACHER FROM RAMSEY IS
BEING REMEMBERED THIS WEEKEND
FOR HER STRENGTH.
ANGELA OLSEN FOUGHT A
THREE-YEAR BATTLE WITH BREAST
CANCER.
I ADMIRED HER AND RESPECTED
HER AND WAS SO PROUD TO BE HER
MOM.
ANGELA DIED LAST WEEK AT JUST
37-YEARS OLD.
SHE WAS A WIFE, MOTHER, AND
SCHOOLTEACHER AT EVERGREEN
ELEMENTARY.
AS ANGELA DAVIS DISCOVERED IN
THIS WEEK'S LIFE STORY HE LEFT
HER LOVED ONES WITH MANY
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES.
A PLACE WHERE ANGELA OLSEN
VOLUNTEERED IS NOW A PLACE WHERE
HER LIFE IS CELEBRATED.
INSIDE THE CHURCH HER FAMILY AND
FRIENDS REMEMBER A YOUNG WOMAN
WHO HAD MANY GIFTS.
SHE WAS GREAT WITH KIDS.
SHE WOULD GET DOWN TO THEIR
LEVEL.
AND BUT YET SHE WAS FIRM AND
THEY KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT.
HER FATHER SAYS SHE WAS ALSO
GOOD WITH HER HANDS.
THERE SEEMED TO BE NO LIMIT
TO HER CAKE DECORATING SKILLS.
FROM MAKING BIRTHDAY CAKES TO
WEDDING CAKES THIS WAS ONE OF
THE WAYS ANGIE SHOWED LOVE.
THREE YEARS AGO AFTER PICKING UP
HER SON AND DAUGHTER FROM CAMP
ANGIE HAD A SEIZURE.
DOCTORS DISCOVERED A BRAIN
TUMOR.
SHE SAID I CAN'T DIE NOW, I'M
TOO BUSY TO DIE.
SHE FOUGHT THE FIGHT BETTER THAN
ANYBODY I'D EVER HEARD OF.
ANGIE NAMED HER TUMOR MURPHY
BUT RARELY SPOKE OF IT OR HER
CANCER TREATMENTS EVEN AS SHE
BEGAN TO GO BLIND.
SHE LOVED TO READ.
SHE HAD HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
BOOKS.
AND THE ONLY THING SHE SAID WAS
I'M REALLY GOING TO MISS
READING.
HER CLOSE FRIENDS DAUGHTER
LOOKED UP TO ANGIE AND RESPECTED
HER BOLD HONESTY.
SHE SAID TO ME IF ANGIE IS
NOT HERE WHO'S GOING TO TELL ME
WHEN I'M MESSING UP.
SHE BELIEVED SHE WOULD WIN
HER BATTLE WITH CANCER.
UP UNTIL THE LAST WEEK THERE
WASN'T ANY OTHER OPTION IT WAS
GOING TO BE WE'LL KEEP MOVING
AHEAD UNTIL THEY DON'T HAVE A
TREATMENT ANYMORE.
SHE'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR HER
OPTIMISM AND RESILIENCE AND FOR
SERVING AS A REMINDER OF WHAT'S
IMPORTANT.
MAKE TIME TO DO THE SMALL
THINGS TO GO AND SPEND TIME WITH
YOUR LOVED ONES.
EVERYONE'S BUSY BUT YOU'VE GOT
TO GO MAKE THE TIME.
ANGELA'S FAMILY TELLS US SHE
WOULD OFTEN SAY YOU CAN'T ALWAYS
CHOOSE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU BUT
YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE.
