Of Chelsea, Michigan, age 67, died Thursday, November 3, 2022 at her home in Chelsea. She was born November 29, 1954 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the daughter of Donald & Loretta A. (Lindauer) Eder.


Angie retired from the Washtenaw County Clerk/Register of Deeds. She always had a great respect and interest in other faith traditions. One of Angie's passions was spent in long and regular solitary retreats and living the contemplative path wherever she was. She treasured children and found herself advocating for children who didn't have a voice for whatever reason. She was a student/teacher of yoga for over 40 years. Angie taught yoga to all walks of life in Kentucky and Michigan. After being asked, she was the first woman who taught yoga to monks at their monastery during a time when yoga was not yet popular as it is today and when women were not allowed at a monastery for men.
