Angelia M. Neiger

It is with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to our angel, Angelia M. Neiger, 33, of Waterford on Wednesday March 6, 2024 at UPMC Hamot Hospital. 

She was born July 27, 1990 to Marion Neiger and Gary Pustelak. 

As a young girl she spent much of her time with her cousin Nicky.  They danced and twirled baton in many parades; attended Pennside Church as well as Little Mahoning Bible Camp.

Angel had an early education at Our Lady Of Peace Catholic School before graduating from Girard High School in 2009. She loved sports and had an aggressive and competitive nature on the soccer field and enjoyed playing basketball. She was an avid motor sports fan, often riding dirt bikes and four wheelers with her family.
