Angelica was placed in the foster home of Gary and Willa Lemburg on April 10, 1998 and was adopted on September 18, 2000. She attended Wasmer elementary, Barr middle school, and Grand Island senior high, graduating a year ahead of her class in 2015 thanks to online classes her senior year. Angie attended Nebraska Wesleyan for one semester before health issues forced her to withdraw.

Angelica suffered from Cystic Fibrosis and by 2016 her doctors told her she needed a double lung transplant. She was listed in June 2018, and on October 21, 2018, Angie was blessed with a set of new lungs. We rejoice that she was given almost four years of life by donor gift! She was able to attend Clarkson School of Radiology for a year, meet the love of her life, fiancé Dre Socha, and travel to North Carolina earlier this year. Angelica suffered from chronic lung rejection and needed a second double lung transplant, which unfortunately she was unable to receive. Celebrating the birth of her niece, Violet in June, was one of Angie’s greatest joys, even though she never got to meet her in person, only through facetime.

Angelica will be greatly missed by her mother: Willa; siblings: Gary (Robyn), Bryon, Kellie Colburn (Michael Reeser), Jamie (Alicia), and Megan (Brian) Flemmer; nieces and nephews: Nicole Nunn (Chris Rieber), Spencer (Zandria) Nunn, Kelsey Lemburg, Jeffrey (Miranda) Lemburg, Thomas (Shelby) Lemburg, Ethan (Libby) Lemburg, Keytan Lemburg, Mallory Lemburg, Katelynn Colburn, Brayden Lemburg, and Violet Flemmer; great niece and nephews: Rylee, Mason, and Blake; uncle: Wrenn (Cecilia) Lesher; fiancé: Dre Socha; and many other special people in her life.

She was preceded in death by her father, Gary, and grandparents.
