The cancer started in her lungs before it spread to her brain. Angie celebrated her 50th birthday in March 2019, which coincided with the publication of her first-ever book, titled God's Plan. 

As she explained in a Youtube video at the time, the date marked a great turning point for her and her family in many other respects. 

In January 2018, the doctors warned her that she had about four months to one year left ⁠— a prognosis she completely defied.

In the past two years, Angie succeeded to spread a positive message, giving hope for hundreds of thousands of cancer sufferers. 

"[...] this is where you pick up the baton and run like she did mighty warrior. You can choose this day to be like Angie and use your social media engagements to make a difference rather than disaster, to spread love and not hate, and to always be kind," wrote her family in the last ever post to appear on her Instagram account.
