Angela Patricia Diaz

Angela “ Lala” Diaz was born on February 7, 1976 to Ovidio and Zenaida Simbaqueva. She passed away on May 30, 2024. Angela grew up in her beloved city of Bogota, Colombia. She was one of six children: William; Leonardo; Ruth Mary; Ivan and Lina. She attended Konrad Lorenz University and studied Psychology.

Angela was a selfless, caring faithful woman who loved Jesus, her family, friends, church and community. Those who knew her will tell stories of Angela’s sacrifices to serve those around her. She especially cared for those struggling or in need of help.  Angela also had a contagious laugh; she was witty and always found a way to laugh even in the darkest times. When others would lose heart she found even more reasons to be joyful. Even at the end she found a way to smile and laugh.

Angela loved traveling, she specially loved her time in Europe exploring old cities, visiting museums, soaking in the culture and enjoying the best baked goods. 

Above all Angela loved her Savior, she surrendered her life to Him at a young age and lived holding on to hope and purpose. Because of her undeniable faith she was able to impact many lives. 

Angela was predeceased by her brother William. She is survived and will be deeply missed by her loving husband Jorge Diaz, her beloved daughter Ana Sofia, her parents, siblings and many loyal friends and extended family members.
