Eleanora "Ellie" Rose Angle's Obituary
Eleanora (Ellie) Rose Angle, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on March 24, 2025, at the age of 90 at Evergreen Retirement Community.
Born on January 13, 1935, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Ellie was the daughter of the late Lawrence and Mary (Berger) Hannes. She married the love of her life, Kenneth L. Angle Sr., on October 8, 1955, at Sacred Heart Church in Oshkosh, and they shared a beautiful life together until his passing on June 13, 2023.
Ellie dedicated 27 years of her career to Ambassador Travel, where her exceptional communication skills and vibrant personality shone as a Group Coordinator and Travel Guide. She had the privilege of exploring the world, leading groups by motor coach, ship, and air, and sharing her passion for travel with others. An active member of her community, Ellie was involved with Ducks Unlimited Distaff and the Women's Division of the Oshkosh Area.
Her memory will live on through her loving family: daughters Greta Angle (Ben Elandt), Mary Charles, and Lisa Eifolla (Jeff); son Kenneth Angle Jr. (Lindabeth); nine grandchildren—Nicole, Wendy, and Brandi Wirth, Loyde Charles (special friend Mindy), Darrin Charles (CA), Dexter Charles, Ryan Gabriel, Levi Eifolla (Mara), and Ken Angle III (Molly); eight great-grandchildren; two step-granddaughters, Katie Manthei (Andy) of Minnesota and Chris Feder; and five step-great-grandchildren. Ellie was predeceased by her parents, her sister Marian Schuettpelz, her brother Lawrence Hannes, and her grandson Ryan’s late wife, Breckan.
Known for her warmth and kindness, Ellie had a gift for making everyone feel special. When asked about her favorite travel destinations, she’d light up and say, “Hawaii and Las Vegas!” She once shared her hope: “I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one and leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.”
Following her wishes, Ellie has been cremated. A visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church (St. Jude the Apostle Parish), located at 6th and Knapp Streets in Oshkosh, followed by a Mass with Rev. Louis Golamari officiating. Inurnment will take place immediately afterward at Sacred Heart Cemetery. The family will direct a memorial donation in lieu of flowers.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Evergreen Retirement Community for their compassionate care and support during Ellie’s time there and also to the staff of Generations Hospice.
