Funeral Services:
Angela Rene’ Crozier, 52 of Charlotte, a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2023, surrounded by family. Angela was born May 14, 1970, in Charlotte, the daughter of Tina (Tim) Hart of Bellevue and Bill (Ann) Crozier of Charlotte. She is survived by her parents; sisters, Lisa (Russ) Green of Bellevue, and Laura (Mike) Fuller of Pleasant Lake; children, Derek Cuff, Christina Torre, and CJ (Bre) Torre, all of Charlotte; grandchildren, Zander, Mae, and Josiah; step-sister, Amy Schultz of Huron, OH; and her companion, Brian Burke of Charlotte. In addition to her biological family, Angela is also survived by numerous friends that she called her chosen family, and bonus kids that have become a significant part of her life over the years.
Angela loved to cook and always made everything from scratch. It was common for her to spend days making a meal for family and friends. You could taste the love in her food. She was the Charlotte Frontier Days Queen in 2004, helped coach CJO football from 2003-2007. Angela loved to travel and explore new places. A couple of her favorite and more recent trips were a month-long road trip with grandson Zander to hike West Glacier National Park in Montana the summer of 2020 and going to Ireland with her “travel buddy” Laurie in August of 2022. Angela worked as the Recruiting Manager for Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) in Okemos. She loved her career and the people she had the privilege of working with. Angela often said, “I have been blessed beyond measure to work for such an amazing organization with exceptional people.”
Angela left us far too soon, but often stated she believed her medical condition was “truly a blessing and gift from God. How many people leave this earth without any warning at all? God loved me and you enough to give us a heads up that this was coming. This allowed us time to prepare and gave me a chance to say goodbye to those closest to me. We will all leave this earth at some point, make sure your house is in order before you do! It is okay to be sad, it is not okay to stay sad. So, cry today, but remember – I am with the Father and waiting for you to join me. Make sure He knows your name!”
