It is with deep sorrow, profound love, and lasting gratitude that we remember Angell Kohler- a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and teacher- who left us far too soon at the age of 46 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Angella's heart was as vast as her spirit. Born and raised in Tigard, OR, she later made her home in Camas, WA, where she touched countless lives with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering commitment to her students. For nearly a decade, Angella worked as a teacher at Grass Valley Elementary, shaping the minds and hearts of children in her care. As a second and third grade teacher, she was not only an educator but also a mentor, guide, and friend. Her classroom was a sanctuary-a place where every child felt seen, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Angella believed in the power of education to change lives, and she poured her heart into making that belief a reality every single day.

Beyond her dedication to teaching, Angella was a loving and supportive wife to Brian, her college sweetheart from University of Portland. Together, they built a beautiful life, one filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Angella was a devoted mother to their two children, Haylee and Brady. Her pride in her children knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment she had with them. Whether it was celebrating Haylee's achievements as a freshman at the University of Washington or supporting Brady's journey through high school, Angella was always there-encouraging, guiding, and loving them unconditionally. Her dedication to their futures was boundless, and her love will continue to guide them as they navigate the years ahead.

Angella's family extended beyond her immediate household. She held her brother, Nate, and sister, Michelle, close to her heart., along with her parents Kim and Dave, whose love and support helped shape the woman she became. Angella's bonds with her family were deep and enduring, and those relationships enriched every part of her life.

Angella's legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and profound love. She had a rare and beautiful gift for making everyone she encountered feel special. Whether it was her students, her friends, or her family, Angella's genuine care left a lasting mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her infectious laugh, radiant smile, and selflessness created an atmosphere of joy and connection wherever she went. Angella taught us the true meaning of love- though her actions, her words, and the example she set every day.

Though Angella's light may have dimmed far too soon, her legacy will forever shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her. We will miss her more than words can express, but we find solace in knowing her love, kindness, and generosity will live on though her family, her friends, her students, and everyone whose life was touched by her extraordinary presence.

Rest in peace, Angella. You will forever be loved, remembered, and cherished.
