Angela had voted in every election since she came of age. She had been infirm for about a year, but her family provided her with an absentee ballot. She had said, "If I vote one more time I want it to be for a woman." She got her wish (her ballot had been mailed) but unfortunately died just after early voting began. Her son writes, "She voted before she went!"
