Angie Dadey's Obituary
Angie Maame Tiwaa Dadey, was born on the 15th of July 1975 in Kumasi, at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Hospital, to Johnson Kofi Appiah and Felicia Quartson. She loved life at the earliest age and developed a passion for helping others, be it family or complete strangers.
Angie spent her early childhood in Kumasi and Dunkwa-On-Offin, Ghana, along with her multiple aunties, uncles and cousins. She eventually moved to Accra to attend high school and she proudly attended and completed Okuapeman Secondary School. During her National Service, after graduation, she met the love of her life, Kwesi Dadey.
In March of 1997, Angie migrated to the United States to join her parents in Brooklyn, NY. She took classes at both Brooklyn and Hunter College before transferring to Texas A&M to pursue a degree in economics. She received her bachelor’s in economics and shortly after graduation, relocated to Dallas, Texas area to start her new life, and remained in Texas until her passing.
She worked for Citi Group for a couple of years, before joining Capital One, where her compassion, work ethic and dedication to her colleagues and the people she managed won her the respect of all she encountered. She loved the many job outings with her coworkers, whether it be playing golf, office parties or going out for group lunches, and enjoyed bringing joy and laughter to her colleagues.
Angie was not only a dedicated professional but also a loving wife to her husband K, as she affectionately called him. Having met during their teenage years, they kept in touch over the years and made an intentional decision to get married in January of 2005. Their beautiful union produced their first child, Nicole and six years later, they had their son Jojo. Angie’s beautiful children were her pride and joy and she laid a solid foundation to carry them throughout the years even in her absence. Her home was filled with laughter and love, and she ensured that her children had fond memories to carry them through. Whether it was through family vacations, group or individual dinner/shopping outings, cheering on the Dallas Cowboys on a Sunday night football, or baking and cooking from scratch, Angie turned every activity into a family activity.
She had a vibrant personality and a contagious smile that could light up any room. Angie enjoyed spending time with friends and family, and never missed any opportunity to bring all of us together to cook, eat, laugh, and enjoy every single holiday, birthdays, and weekends whenever possible. If we could not meet in person, she ensured that we were all together on a group facetime call.
Tragically, Angie passed away on December 17th, 2024. Her legacy of kindness, empathy and dedication to helping others continues to inspire those who knew her. Angie’s life was a testament to the impact one person can have on the world through compassion and selflessness.
