Angela A Burke passed away on Sunday November 24, 2019 at her home in the Bronx, NY. She was 83 years old. Beloved daughter of the late Anton and Anna Wentz Hager, she was born on December 30, 1935 on a farm in rural Balta, North Dakota. They grew crops and raised livestock. She was an outside girl and worked alongside her father and brother Raymond in the fields. Her mom had 25 cows, they were milked twice a day, and she sold cream and eggs in town. They canned vegetables from their garden and bought boxes of fruit from the market which they canned also in mason jars. Angela went to a one room schoolhouse, with grades 1-8. In the winter, Angela and her sister traveled to school on a sled, pulled by a horse with their brother at the reigns. To keep warm, her mom made a quilt filled with feathers. She graduated from St. Leo's High School in Minot, North Dakota.
