Angela Nicole Gamboa-Baldridge

Angela was born in Bakersfield, California on May 29th, 1974. She was the second born of ten children raised by Chuck and Novella Gamboa. She had four sisters and five brothers. She was a phenomenal sister and daughter. She grew up playing soccer, softball, and on the color guard team. She attended Colonel Nichols, Chipman junior high and Highland high school. At the age of 19 she had her first child, Andrew Gamboa she thought of him as her miracle baby being born premature at 2 pounds 13 ounces. She then had her second child from her first marriage, Kaylie Hacker. She raised her children in Bakersfield with her amazing family. In 2004 she married her current husband and best friend, Randy Baldridge and gained two amazing children Cheyenne and Matthew Baldridge. After having multiple back surgeries and becoming disabled she was living her life being a stay-at-home wife and mother. She lived to love her children and spend all her holidays at her mom and dad’s house with her siblings, nieces, nephews along with extended family and friends. Angela always left her home and arms open for friends and family no matter the length of time. Angela’s life wouldn’t have been the same without her music and crafting projects. She felt music in a whole different light than most people. She felt every lyric in her soul, and she couldn’t have a note or letter without adding stickers all over the page. You could count on Angela to be a few hours late to the party but once she arrived, she stole the spot light with her bold uplifting attitude. She will forever live through her family and friends. We will make sure we keep her memory alive by sharing our experiences of life we all have lived with our wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was stubborn, full of laughter, strong willed and a feisty individual. She lived life with a lot of love to give and a soft heart. She will be missed by many but never forgotten. Preceded in death by her sister, Gena Gamboa. Survived by her husband Randy, her children Andrew, Kaylie, Cheyenne, Matthew, brothers and wives Erin and Laura Gamboa, Tim and Jessica Gamboa, Jeff and Crystal Gamboa, Brandon and Lindsey Gamboa, David and Kristina Gamboa, and sisters Leah and Curt Wolke, Elaina and Doug Hunter, Amanda Gamboa and numerous nieces and nephews. Heaven received one of the most precious angels on January 26th of 2023.

Rest in peace.
