Angelique Trantham

Angelique Marie Trantham, age 27, passed away far too soon, surrounded by the love of her family, leaving behind a legacy of devotion, strength, and compassion that will forever be remembered by those who knew her. Her life was a beautiful testament to love, resilience, and the deep bonds she formed with family and friends.

Above all else, Angel was an extraordinary mother. She approached motherhood with intention, preparation, and profound love. From the very beginning, she enrolled in daycare programs to learn how to best care for her newborn, determined to give her child every possible opportunity to thrive. She diligently researched age-appropriate activities, learning games, and developmental milestones, thoughtfully mapping out a nurturing and structured path for her child’s growth.

Because of her unwavering involvement, patience, and love, the two-year-old child she leaves behind is remarkably bright, curious, and polite—a living reflection of Angel’s dedication and the thoughtful care she poured into every moment of motherhood. Her child is her greatest legacy.

Angel also served her country with honor as a member of the military. Her service reflected the same qualities that defined her life—discipline, commitment, courage, and selflessness. She carried these values into everything she did, both in uniform and at home.

Even in her passing, Angel continued to give. Through the selfless act of organ donation, she gave three individuals the precious gift of life. Just prior to her donation, she was honored with a Hero Walk, a powerful and moving tribute that reflected the depth of her generosity and the lives she touched.

Those who knew Angel remember her gentle spirit, her warmth, and the way she made others feel supported and valued. She gave love freely and sincerely, offering comfort through both her presence and her actions.

Angel is survived by her beloved child, family members, and friends who will carry her memory forward with love and gratitude. Though her time here was far too short, her impact is immeasurable.

A celebration of Angel’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that acts of kindness be carried out in her honor, reflecting the devotion, compassion, and love she showed throughout her life.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever remembered
