Angela Michelle Ovecka ’02

Angela Ovecka was killed in a car accident in New Mexico Aug. 1, 2003. She was dedicated to all that she did — her studies, her music, her family, and her friendships.

At Princeton, she graduated summa cum laude in civil engineering, played flute, served as president of the wind ensemble, and was a member of Charter Club.

Angela had a wide smile and a sparkle in her eyes that demonstrated her zest for life and compassion for others. She always had time to listen and to sympathize. She cooked hearty breakfasts for her fellow structural engineers before morning exams; she delivered anonymous gifts as the "thesis fairy" to friends during the stressful senior spring; and she relished a good surprise. Ange could be found equally at home working in the basement of the E-Quad on her steel bridge as well as spinning on the dance floor. For her devotion and spontaneity, we will miss her. The class offers its condolences to Angela's parents; her sister, Elaine; her brother, David; and all those whose lives were touched by her smile and her thoughtfulness.
