Angeline loved her visits to her family’s cottage on Lake Ontario. She was able to visit four times in the last eight years and each visit heightened the love for “her” lake and family, and her urge to return. She raised a family and worked a variety of jobs in her life. After retiring, her life’s work became her yard, adorned with a beautiful rose garden. It is there you could find her, up to the age of 97 standing on a ladder, trimming her vines and roses. She adored her grandson and his three active, loving boys. She will be joining her husband, Daniel Cartin (Watertown NY), her parents and her nine siblings. The remaining family is certain there will be a heavenly lawn chair gathering around a lake that looks much like the one where “the cottage” still sits across from Fox Island.
