Angela Fergus 1933-2019

Angie was born April 28, 1933, in Youngstown, the daughter of Michael and Bertha Goshert Bobala. She graduated from East High School.

She worked all her life, starting with Dr. Fischer in downtown Youngstown, then Sutton Travel Agency in Boardman, who were like her second family, then to The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, from where she retired 15 years ago. Angie was heavily involved in the union there.

She loved to travel, especially to Mexico and Las Vegas. She learned to speak Spanish on her own. She also loved music and played guitar and the organ for many years. She was also a member of the woman’s bowling association. She spent many hours at Mar Hill Lanes, where she won a lot of trophies and awards.

Angie also loved art and took painting classes at The Butler Institute of American Art. In her later years, she added a glass room onto her home so she was able to enjoy the beautiful roses in her flower garden and spend many hours bird watching, which she loved to do.

Angie is survived by two sisters, Suzanne Bobala, whom she was very close to and enjoyed spending a lot of time with, and Joanne Angelo, who recently moved back home from Florida; nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews, who all enjoyed spending time with their aunt; and many good friends.

Besides her parents, Angie was preceded in death by her husband, John Fergus, who passed in 1982; and her nephew, Kenneth M. Swingle of Naples, Fla.

Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, 2019, at Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home, 3100 Canfield Road, Youngstown.

Friends and family may call 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019, at the funeral home.
