Barbara Jean Angle
January 13, 1937 ~ June 16, 2017
Barbara Jean Angle (80) went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at her home in the Asbury Retirement Community Solomons, MD. Born in Wilkes Barre PA, on January 13, 1937, she was the daughter of the late Walter Masgay and Frances Kertulis.
Barbara was a kind, generous, caring, loving and spiritual woman. She enjoyed reading, painting ceramics, playing pitch, but most of all Barbara enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Barbara was an employee of the federal government retiring after nearly 40 years of service, working at the Patuxent River Naval Air Base.
Barbara is survived by her son, Joe and his wife Rose and her daughter Barbara Shaw and her husband Mark, and two cherished grandchildren Jimmy Angle and Kory Shaw. She was predeceased by her husband Francis Harrington Angle, their daughter Karen and two brothers, Walter and Louis Masgay.
Barbara was a fan favorite, often seen on the sidelines cheering Jimmy on at sporting events or in the front row being is proudest supporter at school events.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM with prayers recited at 7:00 PM in the Mattingley-Gardiner Funeral Home Leonardtown, MD.

Barbara was one of the best sister-in-laws a person could have. She always cared about others and would be there in a time of need. I will miss her warm smile and laughter. Rest in peace Barbara and I will miss you dearly.
Since I moved here in February of 1985, the majority of that time was spent working with, or at least near Barbara. When I arrived I was surprised to find that she was so friendly to me, and I flattered myself to suppose she liked me. The truth is, she was accepting, and even welcoming to one and all who entered the ranks here – the slow, the smart, the arrogant, the annoying, the befuddled and the lost. She handled them all and managed to evoke a human response and laughs from more than a few. Another thing: the work. Her work on base was even more boring than mine – yet, never, ever – did I hear her complain, even when doing overtime work. It’s sad that we only realize the sterling qualities of someone after death. Let us contravene WS and deny that “the evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Barbara Angle refutes that entirely. May the good she did and the abundant human warmth and humor she abundantly displayed be ever remembered among all who knewand loved her. May God have care of her now and forever.
Mrs. Angle was such a sweet, kind, thoughtful and generous person. When she realized my daughter didn’t have any living grandparents, she took it upon herself to send her gifts and cards in the mail, and take on the role of “adoptive grandmother”. Two weeks ago my daughter and I finally visited Mrs. Angle at Asbury and enjoyed a lovely time visiting, telling stories and getting to know one another better. She was so happy and upbeat and as we ended our visit we decided we would get together again soon and go out for lunch next time. However, the temperatures were so hot that I put off calling to schedule our next lunch, as I felt it would be too much for her breathing. I wish we still would have at least gone for a visit. We will never forget Mrs. Angle, her sweet, kind heart and her great sense of humor. God Bless you, Vicky and Victoria Lock
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.Your Mom used to come into the cvs store at Solomons where I worked and we would catch upon the news, since we live in Dameron, she would would always ask about events down here in Ridge. I have not seen her now for over a year, beacause I retired, and never had a chance to visit her again
Joey, your mom was a great neighbor. We are sorry for your loss. I have thought of her often, especially since one of my favorite pictures is one she gave us when we moved in. She will be missed by many.
I was sorry to read of Barbara’s passing. May she rest in peace.
Please accept my sincere sympathy to all the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Joey and Family,
My heart felt sympathy on the passing of your Mom.
Having recently lost my mother I can really feel your pain.
Though the pain will never fully heal , you learn to live beyond
it cause of course your Mom would never want to cause you
pain. The most important mission is to live through the memories
she gave you and the love she taught you. She would want you
to love your family and others and to lead a happy life….
Honor her life and memories by sharing them with others and
keep her close to your heart so she will live through you……
Be strong my Brother
