The Passing of a Good Neighbor

Evangeline Kay Vannatter "Angie"

Angie was the original champion of St. Nicholas throughout the city. She was for years the mover and shaker for the cemetery cleanup and maintenance. She represented us in the hallways of city government to keep our streets clean, our public spaces safe, and our public celebrations vibrant.

Sadly, her failing health over the past few years made it impossible for her to come out into the public eye to participate in the activities of her beloved neighborhood.

So - you may not have had the pleasure of knowing her personally, but you are living in a vibrant neighborhood that was made more so by her years of selfless volunteerism on your behalf. Come join those of us who did know her at the Mudville Grill to offer your thanks to her family for her efforts.

Angie is survived by her loving husband James Vannatter, her mother Jocelyn Atterholt and 2 brothers Rick and Michael Moyer. Born in Coshocton Ohio, Angie earned a BS from the University of Akron and taught school for several years in Ohio before moving to Jacksonville in 1984. She ran a small business here with her husband. Angie will be remembered locally though for being a community activist. She served several terms as president of her neighborhood organization (SNAP) overlapping those duties while serving as S.E.CPAC chair. She also served on Transportation and Health committees and the Citizens Advisory Committee for The Better Jacksonville Plan. Her fondest memories though came from serving as Volunteer Chairperson at the Jacksonville Zoo. Those who knew her loved her and she will be sorely missed.
