Angela Marie Sessoms entered eternal rest on Tuesday, December 24, 2019 at home with her family on Norfolk, Virginia.

After graduating high school, Angela found her passion working in retail as a Customer Service Representative at Montgomery Ward. As her predeceased sister, Valerie Adams opened her hair salon called “Ebony Hair Fashion”, she worked as her receptionist. Angela had a love for interacting with people.

She loved her family with her whole heart. Anyone that knew Angela knew family gatherings were special to her. She enjoyed eating all the different dishes that were cooked by her mother, Betty and family. She especially loved her sister, Dana’s banana pudding. Another favorite of hers, was spending quality time with her children and her grandchildren.
