Mom was born in Manitou, the first daughter of Robert and Lillian Gillerlain. Upon graduation from Normal School, Angela taught in rural Manitoba where she met Charles, her husband to be. After their marriage they lived in Selkirk for several years, moving to Winnipeg in 1942.

After the birth of their children, Angela taught kindergarten to neighbouring children in her own home. In addition to her teaching career, Angela was very active in her community, Holy Cross Church, Champlain Community Club, and numerous volunteer activities.
