Angela Lynch Spangler Clinard
1967 - 2026
Angela Lynch Spangler Clinard, 58, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, passed away on July 12, 2026.
Born on November 24, 1967, Angela was the daughter of Loleta Lynch Henley and Tillard Worth Lynch. She lived in Winston-Salem for many years and dedicated more than 20 years of service as a Habilitation Technician with Horizons Residential Care, providing care and support to children with special needs.
Angela was preceded in death by her father, Tillard Worth Lynch (1975); her stepfather, William (“Bill”) Henley (2014); and both sets of grandparents.
She is survived by her husband, William Russell (“Rusty”) Clinard, of Winston-Salem; her twin daughters, Sylvia Cox of Fernandina Beach, Florida, and Cecilia Lemons, also of Fernandina Beach, Florida; her grandsons, Ean Cox and Elie Cox; her mother, Loleta Lynch Henley of Mocksville, North Carolina; her brother, Ross Lynch, his wife, Myrna Vance Lynch (whom Angela considered both a sister and a dear friend), and their children, Ryder Lynch and Savanna Lynch; and her sister, Melissa Lynch Funes, her husband, Alfredo Funes, and their son, Jaksen Funes, all of Winston-Salem.
Known to family and friends as Angie or Ann, Angela had a lifelong love for dogs. Her Yorkie, Kandi, was a constant companion who brought her great comfort and joy, and the bond they shared was a special part of her life.
Angela’s memory will remain with her family, friends, and all who knew and loved her.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date, to be announced.
Angie was an amazing employee at Horizons and took exceptional care of the residents there. Prayers for her family.
You were always so good to Myrna, Ryder, and Savanna. They all miss you very much and I love you with all my heart. Till we meet again love you sis.
She was an awesome woman, she called me her son and really loved me! And she loved her dog she had! Rest in heaven, see you soon
She was the best wife I could have had. I love her very much and will see her when “the ransomed of the Lord shall return” Isaiah 35:10
I remember the first day I met Angie, it was at the Walmart on Stratford Rd. She and I were both amputees. I noticed her strength that day, as she was shopping on one leg, with a cart and her walker, with Kandi with her! I stopped and asked are you by yourself, and she responded, yes! That day I met a true friend! I helped her shop and as we were saying goodbye that day, we stood in the parking lot, hugged and cried together! Although I only knew Angie for a short time, it was like we had been friends for a life time! You will forever be missed! Your soul is resting now, you fought a good fight! Now take your rest and rest easy my friend. Love you always Keisha!
