Angelica A. Andrachick, 17
Angelica is now "sleeping in death with her father, Frank, awaiting Jehovah God's glorious resurrection." Angelica was born Aug. 5, 1988, in Apple Valley, Calif. She moved to Marion in July of 1989.
She attended school at Marion, Lakeside, Somers, and at Flathead High School. She finished eleventh grade in June of 2005 and then went to Running Start where she completed her credits for the twelfth grade and accumulated nine college credits with a 4.0 grade point average. She received her diploma two weeks after turning 17. She would have walked down the aisle with her graduating class in May 2006. She moved to Las Vegas in September with her mother Dolly (Gwen) Holland.
She loved Montana and went to visit family and friends on Dec. 18. She would have returned Jan. 5 to Las Vegas. Her tragic death occurred on Dec. 25, while going up to Kalispell to see the love of her young life, Scott Allen Purdy of Kalispell.
Angelica loved life and she loved to laugh. She was beautiful both inside and out. She was intelligent, compassionate, empathetic and kind. She loved her family and friends with her whole heart.
She was very talented. Her drawings were wonderful and she loved singing. She was best when writing. Her poetry was beautiful. She wrote a book and was in the process of finding a publisher.
She leaves behind her brother, Sean Andrachick, and his wife Sandy, and their two children, Terren and Taylor, all of Marion; brother, Steven Andrachick, and his wife Lindsey, and their three children, Austyn, Braxtyn and Stevyn, all of Kalispell; her mother, Dolly (Gwen) Holland, and her fiance Frank Hamers, of Las Vegas - the only man since her father that she said she would ever call "Dad."
We will all miss her sense of humor, her wit, her charm and her laughter.
May Jehovah God remember her.
A memorial service will he held at 1 p.m. Saturday Dec. 31, 2005, for all of her family and friends at Buffalo Hill Funeral Home in Kalispell. A potluck will follow the services at the home of Sean and Sandra Andrachick, 263 Gopher Lane, Marion.
