It is with great sadness that the family of Angela Petroshius announces her passing on November 7, 2025, age of 44. Angela was born on December 2, 1980, and attended both St. Joseph and Waukegan High Schools, graduating in 1999. She was an amazing wife, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, and pet-mom, and she touched the lives of so many people around her. She loved with all her heart.
Angela always tried to stay positive, even through her struggles. She had a huge heart and shared whatever resources she had to help friends in need. She loved Pride and other LGBTQ events, earning her the nickname “Rainbow Brite”. She also had a deep love for children and animals. Angela’s kindness and strength had a lasting impact, and we will miss her every day.
Angela is survived by her wifey, Julie Garland; mother, Kathy Petroshius; sister and sister-in-law, Kristen and Tonia Brock-Petroshius; nieces and nephews, Amber, Ziona, and Tupac; and cat, Sunny Bunny. She was preceded in death by her father, Edward Petroshius; grandparents, Lou Ellen and Robert Clark, and Hazel and Lawrence Petroshius; and her dog-son, Shadow.
