Angela Spence Ervin, 60, of Chattanooga, TN, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

Angela was born on October 27, 1963, to Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Willene Spence. After her four years at Bristol High School (Tennessee), she graduated from Carson Newson College in 1985 with honors. While there she was a member of the Carson Newman Dance Team, and she was elected homecoming queen each year for her Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years.

As beautiful as she was, it was her inner beauty that shone brightest. Angela was very loving and understanding. She was calm and friendly. She was gentle. Angela had a servant’s heart. She dearly loved animals. Angela always maintained a close walk with God and spent at least an hour each day in Bible study. She loved her family vacations at the beach. Angela was the best wife in the world.

Angela was preceded in death by her father, Dr. Andrew Spence, and by her brother, Andy Spence.

Those left to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 25 years, Eddie Ervin; mother, Willene Spence; sister, Debbie Clark; and sons, Reese (Lindsey) Ervin, Skylar Ervin and Brett Ervin; nieces and nephews include, Jason (Rachel) Jones, Andrew (Valerie) Spence, Troy Michael Clark, and Jennifer Spence (Jeff Atkins).

A graveside service will be held at 3 p.m. at the Cold Springs Cemetery in Bristol, TN (280 Cold Springs Church Road, Bristol, TN 37620) on Monday, July 1, 2024. Pastor Rick Laney will officiate.
