Angela Ranard

Angela Ranard, born April 17, 1933, in Bloomington, Indiana, was a loving mother and grandmother whose life was rooted in family and steady, dependable work. A longtime resident of Indianapolis and formerly of Bloomington, Angela spent her career at the Naval Avionics facility in Indianapolis, where colleagues recall a reliable, hardworking presence. In retirement she remained close to family and community, sustaining the quiet rhythms of daily life that meant so much to those who knew her.

Angela’s family remember her first as a mother who cared deeply for her children and later as a proud grandmother. She valued family gatherings, maintained close ties with her two daughters, and treasured time spent with grandchildren. Her life reflected the everyday strengths of someone who found meaning in family, home, and the bonds of community.

Born to Pablo and Frances Ramon in Bloomington, Angela carried her Indiana roots throughout her life. She lived independently in her Indianapolis home and kept strong ties to the neighborhood and to the people she loved. Those who knew her speak of a steady, unassuming person who offered practical support and warmth to family and friends.

Her death on December 21, 2009, was a profound loss to her family, and they created a Life Tributes page to share memories and celebrate her life. In remembering Angela, family and friends honor the constancy she offered — a committed worker, a devoted mother, and a grandmother who delighted in her family’s lives. Her memory lives on in the stories shared by those who loved her and in the quiet ways she shaped their days.

Services were arranged through the family and announced in connection with funeral home notices; the family invited remembrances and tributes from those who wished to honor her life. Angela’s legacy is carried forward by the family she raised and the loved ones who keep her memory close.
