January 25, 1973 — May 4, 2026

It is with profound sadness, but deep appreciation for a life beautifully lived, that we announce the peaceful passing of Angelique Katrina Boles-Beckwith on May 4, 2026, in the comforting presence of her family and friends at NAMC. Born on January 25, 1973, in Staten Island, New York, Angelique was a beacon of light and love, a woman whose warmth touched all who were fortunate enough to know her. Angelique was the cherished daughter of Elmira Busey-Boles and Thomas Boles. Her mother, Elmira, predeceased her, leaving a legacy of strength and grace that Angelique carried forward in her own life. Her father, Thomas, survives her, forever proud of the remarkable woman his daughter became. A devoted wife, Angelique shared 21 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Karl Beckwith Sr. Their union was a testament to love's enduring power, marked by mutual respect, laughter, and unwavering support for one another. Together, they built a family rooted in love and kindness, raising their children to carry these values forward. Angelique is lovingly remembered by her children, Jerrisha Brown of Madison, Alabama; Ebonee Boles of Florence, Alabama; and Rayshon Robinson of Cleveland, Ohio. She was a proud and nurturing mother, always encouraging her children to pursue their dreams and stand firm in their values. Her wisdom and guidance have left an indelible mark on their lives. The joy of Angelique's life was amplified by her five grandchildren, who brought her endless happiness and pride. She was a doting grandmother, known for her infectious laughter, storytelling, and the special way she made each grandchild feel uniquely cherished. Angelique's life was a tapestry of love, devotion, and service. Her compassionate spirit extended beyond her family to her community, where she was known for her selfless acts and a heart that welcomed all. Whether through her involvement in local charities or simply offering a listening ear, Angelique's impact was profound and lasting. Her passing leaves an irreplaceable void, yet her spirit continues to inspire all who knew her. We remember Angelique not only for her accomplishments but for the kindness, joy, and love she shared so freely. A celebration of Angelique’s life will be held on a date to be announced, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory and share in the legacy she leaves behind. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Angelique's name to a charity close to her heart, thereby continuing her legacy of generosity and compassion. As we say goodbye to Angelique, we carry her spirit forward, forever grateful for the time we shared and the lessons she imparted. Her love will remain a guiding light in our hearts, and her memory will be cherished eternally.
