Angeletta Maynard

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Angeletta Maynard, age 38, passed away on Sunday, October 23, 2016 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on September 24, 1978 in Saratoga Springs, the daughter of Robert J. Maynard and Darlene M. Rooke Maynard. Angie graduated from Saratoga Springs High School, class of 1996. She overcame many hardships and inspired kindness, compassion and strength in others. She loved to read Steven King books and she loved listening to Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne as well as spending time outdoors. Angie’s greatest accomplishment was her determination to prove to the doctors that she could have a child and her miracle came true the day she gave birth to Kevin Lee Gifford Jr. who she loved dearly and was her bundle of joy. We couldn’t be more proud of her. Even when we were telling her it was OK if she couldn’t do something, she did it anyway. She is survived by her loving parents Robert and Darlene Maynard, long-term companion Kevin Lee Gifford, Sr.; her precious miracle son, Kevin Lee Gifford, Jr.; brother, Thomas Maynard; sister, Rebecca Gould and her husband Jason; niece, Taylor Gould; nephew, Dakota Maynard; many aunts, uncles and friends. She is preceded in death by her grandparents and nephew Hunter Maynard. A celebration of life was held on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at the New England Presbyterian Church, 24 Circular St. in Saratoga Springs. Family and friends gathered to remember Angie prior to the service, and continued that fellowship following the service at the church. Arrangements are under the direction of Compassionate Funeral Care, Inc, 402 Maple Ave., Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.
