Elizabeth " Angel" Angela McGrath

Ms. Elizabeth Angela “Angel” McGrath, a mother, a daughter and sister, died unexpectedly over the weekend due to a sudden pulmonary embolism. COVID-19 was not a factor. Angel worked at Bonnie Branch Middle School, primarily this year with 6th and 7th grade students, both in small groups and co-teaching in virtual classrooms. Angel was a beloved member of the school and church community of Saint Augustine and made a tremendous impact on everyone she met. Ms. McGrath always saw the best in her students, was a trusted colleague, and close friend to many. Her involvement in the Drama Learning Center productions and school musicals are also treasured memories. Angel always seemed to know just what to say to make someone smile or feel better.
