She had a wonderful sense of humor and was a joy to be with. Angeline was born in Thiensville, WI and graduated from Concordia College in Indiana with a Bachelor degree. She taught first through fourth grade at Redeemer Lutheran in WI. After moving to Romeo from Detroit, she became an active member in the Romeo Historical Society. Angeline and Richard were presented with an “Official Tribute” from the Macomb County Board of Commissioners for their “Diligent efforts to coordinate and mobilize your community to successfully preserve Romeo’s historical identity with the United States Postal Service. You’ve heard the old saying “You can’t fight City Hall.” Well, the Beechers and several members of the local community did, and they won! 48095 was designated as a dual postal code status: Romeo/Washington. Angie was a founding member of Grace Lutheran Fellowship in Romeo. She served on the original building committee and again when the church built an addition. She was instrumental in involving Grace with “His Table,” a community meal served to the less fortunate each week at the neighborhood Methodist church. Operation Christmas Child is a mission outreach program that was the nearest and dearest to Angie’s very generous heart. Since 2004, ladies from Grace would gather in the Beecher’s basement to pack shoe boxes. At first they began packing in October, but as the years went by, they started earlier and earlier. Last year, 1,066 filled shoe boxes from Grace were gifted to children around the world who were introduced to the saving love of Jesus. In lieu of flowers, Angie would be honored by items to be used in the filling of shoe boxes: school supplies, crayons, coloring books,wash cloths, bar soap, combs, tooth brushes, small plush animals, toys, balls, cars/trucks, clothing and shoes for children ages 2-14. Nothing breakable, liquid, used or war related. Items must be able to fit in a shoe box.
