Angela Connolly-Cunneely, 1959-2023

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Angela Connolly on Aug 4, 2023. From the time she was a mother of two, she was active in the Bronx NYC public school system and served as president of a parents advocacy organization. Angela would go on to a career as a Certified Medical Assistant in the field of Gynecology, leaving her loving mark on countless women's lives. She is best known for her advocacy and activism for walking, bicycling and environmental causes in Delaware. She volunteered and served on the boards of multiple organizations that included Newark Bike Project and Bike Delaware in their early inception. Angela co-founded Save The Orphanage Property (STOP), a coalition of citizens and organizations that tried to save green space and bring a regional park to Ogletown-S. Newark. She co-wrote and edited for several advocacy blogs that included 1st State Bikes and Ogletown Resilience. Her beautiful personality, lively enthusiasm, and embrace of the greater good will be sorely missed.  ~Francis Warnock
