ANGELA KOCH Obituary

KOCH--Angela Browder. Angela Browder Koch passed peacefully on Saturday, November 4, 2023, in New Orleans, LA, surrounded by her children (Angeline Gauntt, Lane Gauntt, William Koch, Robin Koch) and beloved dog Cocopuff, making her laugh and holding her hands while watching the football game. A wonderful mother to four, a devoted "Mimi" to two granddaughters, an aunt, a sister, a friend to many and stranger to no one, her legacy is one of kindness, grace, authenticity, and passionate advocacy for the wellbeing of others. To know her was to love her. Her family and friends are celebrating her love-driven life with a second line parade in the French Quarter this weekend, and will lay her to rest with her parents in Montgomery, AL.

I am heartbroken to see this; Angela was a Lovely Lady. I knew her right as she was engaged to Bill. My company always handled her and the children's transportation in New Orleans, and I always cared for her. I loved her Southern accent. She had the most beautiful soul; she was kind and considerate. I have never met another woman like this woman. I never had a crush on anyone in my life, but I had a crush on Angela-my deepest condolences to Angela´s family. Surely, she is missed by all; I miss her even now.
Sincerely, Guy Michael Smith 5-12-2025

I´m so heartbroken to hear about Angela. Angela was so beautiful, both inside and out. There are so many happy memories I hold of our college years and afterwards as roomies as we started our careers in Montgomery. There are endless stories of wonderful times. Love to Angela´s family. She brought such love to everyone she knew.

This is so sad! What a sweet soul! I grew up with Angela! We took dancing at McConnell twins for many years! I loved Angela and admired her in so many ways. Love you and will see you again one day!

Angela was a beautiful woman with an even more beautiful soul. She had the ability to live with grace through the toughest of times; a testament to an inner strength & resilience that ran deeper than most would ever know because of her graceful style of life. In a world of aspiring Kardashians , Angela was an Audrey Hepburn.

Angela and I were friends for just 3 years, but her impact on me will live forever in my memory. We shared love of family and of SEC football. She a War Eagle, I a diehard Roll Tide, there were never 2 such opponents who loved the other so dearly. I will miss her joy of live, her generosity of spirit and her ability to make any party more lively.
