Angelina left our world far too early on August 11, 2023 due to complications of chronic illness. She was born in Palmer, Alaska to Frank and Kathleen Bonkoski on December 10, 1987. She graduated from Colony High School in 2006 and ITT Technical School with a degree in auto cad and drafting. She worked for various telecommunications companies and traveled all over the U.S. doing field work and project management for cell towers. She loved her career and was proud to be a member of the Yelp Elite Squad. Her happy places were cooking and gardening and she had a special affinity for cats and birds. Her love of art is what so many will remember her for as she earned ribbons for her sketches of family and friends. She is survived by her mom, Kathleen, her sister Bridget, nephew Leon and niece Echo.
There will be a funeral service at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Palmer on September 16 at noon. Friends and family are encouraged to remember her love of the color pink.
