Meet our President
Angel
Angel has her masters in education, is a certified behavior specialist and women’s wellness coach with an extensive background in trauma informed care. She spent 20 years in education working with teens having special needs, including those who had experienced significant trauma. Additionally, she served as the director of a children’s ministry, has been involved with family/couples’ ministry for the last 13 years, and has over 15 years of experience organizing and hosting special events. Angel is active in the community helping to organize various events; and she serves as a volunteer at church and other organizations in the surrounding communities that support women and children in recovery. She recently served as vice-president on the board of Cornerstone of Grace, a Christian nonprofit organization that provides long-term residential programs for women and children in crisis.
Angel has dedicated much of her life to coaching women and youth through their struggles. This has fueled her passion to create experiences that promote healing, rest and wholeness for survivors who have experienced trauma or sexual exploitation. It is this passion that inspired her vision for a healing and retreat center and led to the creation of the Angel Wings Healing Foundation. When Angel is not working, she loves spending family time outdoors boating, hiking, or kayaking. She is married to Danny, has two young adult sons and three dogs that keep her busy.

Meet our Secretary
Ruth
Ruth is happy to be part of the Angel Wings Foundation team. Born and raised in Illinois, then married to a wonderful man, Ruth was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom to their three children. Her husband’s career path took them overseas, giving Ruth the opportunity to meet wonderful people and volunteering in many capacities. Volunteering at schools attended by the children, being a Girl Scout leader, teaching Sunday School, serving on church committees were part of her life wherever they lived.
In later years, Ruth spent days as secretary at the front desk of a guidance/counseling office at a local high school. Now retired, her favorite ways to spend time include playing with her grandchildren, making up stories starring the grandchildren, making quilts, knitting, and walks in the great outdoors. Ruth has knitted numerous prayer shawls that bring comfort to the women who attend healing retreats sponsored by Angel Wings Healing Foundation.
