Angela Dean Nickey-Thomas

Angela Dean Nickey-Thomas, 52, passed away on Saturday, January 28, 2023, at Community Hospital in Anderson, after a long battle with cancer. Angela was born in Muncie on, Monday, July 27, 1970, to the late Seth Fuller Nickey, and to Dixie (Logan) McCall. She graduated from Eastbrook High School, class of 1988. She married the love of her life, R. Scott E. Thomas, on August 7, 2010, in Anderson. Angela was employed as the office manager at K&K Welding in Alexandria, but she wasn't afraid to break a glittery fingernail or two out working in the shop.

Angela will be deeply missed. She was such a fun, inspiring, an positive energy to be around. Angela loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter Story Dean. She and Story Dean would video chat every night before bed, and Angela would let Story Dean know every single day how much her mamaw loved her ...soooo much!

She loved traveling anywhere warm that had palm trees and sand, walking along oceans, and hiking the trails in Sedona, AZ. Angela enjoyed meditating and doing yoga. She was an avid sparkle enthusiast. Her favorite holiday was Halloween and she was known for having the best house on the block for fun trick-or-treating.

Angela is survived by her husband, R. Scott E. Thomas, Alexandria; son, Seth Michael (Kate Krieger) Story, Upland; daughter and granddaughter, Samantha Dean, and Story Dean (Joseph) Love; Flemingsburg, KY; mother, Dixie (Steve) McCall, Howell, MI; siblings, Amy (Joe) Getchell, Carmel; and Eddie Howard; grandmother, Martha Dean Nickey, Hartford City; special aunt, Sherry Byrd Rickett, Fishers; and her furbaby dog, Harper.

She is preceded in death by her father, Seth Fuller Nickey; maternal grandparents, Clester and Clara Logan; step-father, Phil Byrd; cousin, Toby Rickett; and furbaby dog, Zeus.
