Angela was born on March 21, 1947, in Wellsville, Missouri, to Stanley and Margaret (Arnett) Gibson. Raised with strong family values and a caring spirit, she dedicated her life to serving others. In 1968, she graduated from Barnes-Jewish College School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse and found great fulfillment in helping bring new life into the world by caring for mothers and newborn babies. Nursing was more than a profession to Angela—it was a calling that reflected her compassionate heart.

While attending nursing school, Angela met the love of her life, Ralph Kaeser Jr. Their love story began in college and led to their marriage on May 10, 1968. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and unwavering devotion to one another. Their marriage was a beautiful partnership that endured through the years and served as an example to all who knew them.

Angela was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ralph Kaeser Jr.; her parents, Stanley and Margaret Gibson; and her brothers, Terrance and Darrell Gibson.

She leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory: her children, Jennifer Smith, Rebecca Alcaraz (Steve), and Bryan Kaeser; her five grandchildren, Morgan Warren (Michael), Josie Smith (Mason), Lowry Alcaraz, Logan Alcaraz (Samantha), and Landry Alcaraz; and her two great-grandchildren, Maeve and Victor.

Angela’s greatest joy was her family. She delighted in celebrating milestones, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her kindness, gentle nature, and steadfast love touched countless lives and will continue to be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

For the past fifteen years, Angela carried in her heart the memory of Ralph and the hope of seeing him again. Now reunited with her beloved husband, she has found the peace and joy she long awaited.

All is well with her soul.
