Angelica Lavallee

Angelica Lavallee was fourteen when her life ended on May 20, 1983. Public records and contemporaneous reporting identify her as a young teenager from the Orlando area who, like many adolescents, had friends and ordinary plans for the future. While the public record about Angelica is limited, the consistent fact is that she was a child of the early 1980s with the full range of a young life ahead of her.

What survives in reliable sources are the brief, solemn facts: her age, her name, and the date her life was taken. Those facts are difficult to read, but they point to a real person who had family, classmates, routines, and hopes that were cut short. Because Angelica’s remains were never recovered and because published memorials or funeral notices that match her name and the exact date of death could not be found, there is no available family-published obituary to draw from for personal details.

Even when public records are sparse, it is important to remember that each line in a report corresponds to a life lived. Angelica was a daughter and a young member of a community; she shared ordinary teenage experiences that are recognizably human—friendships, school, laughter, and the private dreams of a young person. Sharing her name and the date of her passing here honors her identity by refusing to let her be only a statistic.

This remembrance page keeps the focus on Angelica’s personhood. Though the record is limited, the dignity owed to her memory is not. She is remembered here as a young life with value, connections, and a future that was taken too soon. May this brief tribute serve as a quiet honoring of Angelica Lavallee and a reminder of the importance of remembering people by their names and the humanity behind them.
