She has worked for the Outback, Applebee’s, Real Burger, and Olive Garden, transferring to the Albuquerque Olive Garden a few years ago to be with her mother, Sue. She is survived by her loving Mom, Sue Clifford of Albuquerque; her grandmother, Mary Lou Lynch of Boise, ID; her dad, Bob Clifford and wife Mary of Santa Fe; two sisters, Amy Clifford of Santa Fe, and her CC Emilie Archuleta and husband Carlos of Albuquerque; her puppy Vader; her nephew Jesse, and nieces Michelle Louise, Alisha, and Gracie; several aunts & uncles, and numerous cousins.

Angie was very fond of Butterflies and loved her little dog Vader. Her most favorite color was purple. She was her Mom’s Special Little Angel and Dad’s “Sweet Caroline”. Her family invites friends to stop by between 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm Thursday, January 14th at the Rivera Family Funeral Home Kiva Chapel, 417 E Rodeo Rd in Santa Fe for a time of remembrance and to celebrate Angie, and help her spirit transition smoothly to fly with her beloved butterflies.
