Since returning 10-years ago, Angela has owned many successful small businesses and has been an active member of the community volunteering for organizations like the YMCA and the Feral and Abandoned Cat Society.

These include 14 horses, eight cats, six chickens, two dogs, two goats, two guinea pigs, and a

mini potbelly piglet who seems to enjoy redecorating the house.
