Angelina Louise "Angie" Urbain Obituary (2023)

On Tuesday October 3, 2023, our dear friend, sister, wife and daughter, Angelina Louise Urbain passed away in her home surrounded by her loving mother and two sisters. Angies last weeks of life were filled with the one thing she loved the most, music. She was blessed to have those she loved from her various church families visit and bless her with heavenly songs to ease her suffering. Angie will be remembered for her love of music and her humor. She was always up for singing, teaching music to children, and teasing others, especially pulling pranks when she could get away with it. She loved the water. If she could have lived on a beach, she would have happily done so. She enjoyed sewing and was an excellent seamstress. Other hobbies she enjoyed were board games, crocheting, and swimming. She loved socializing with youth and when she could she loved hosting young folks/youth group activities. Angie was born November 24, 1971, to James and Senja Watt in South Bend, WA. James and Senja were from Minnesota, and it didnt take long for them to return to northern Minnesota where Angie lived most of her childhood. It was in Minnesota that Angies love for music had its roots. As a child she attended Northwoods Mennonite church and school. It was in this environment she began to sing publicly in small groups, and frequently in a trio with her sisters. Her father, James, loved to hear his girls sing and, frequently and at impromptu moments, he would have "The Watt Girls" sing. She attended Lake of the Woods High in Baudette, MN. Here she lettered in music and won voice lessons for placing well in a competition. The family left Minnesota in 1989 and relocated to Prosser, WA. Angie, a senior in high school at the time, stayed only a short time with the family before returning to Minnesota to finish her senior year of high school. A little over a year later she returned to Washington. Angie remained in Washington for most of her life after this. She taught one year of school in Quinter, Kansas and one year in Hayward, Wisconsin. Other than those two years, she remained in Washington. Angie also loved caring for others. As a young woman she worked at various nursing homes as a Certified Nurses Aid. She studied nursing at Columbia Basin Community College and became a Registered Nurse. Angie loved caring for Hospice patients. She enjoyed caring for and providing comfort for others in their last days. It was returned to her in full as a Hospice patient herself in her last days. In Angies early 40s she met her husband, Mark Urbain. They were married on August 15, 2015, in South Bend, WA. They made their home in Tumwater, WA. However, a few years later Angie began to experience health complications and was no longer able to continue working as a nurse. She and Mark relocated to Richland, WA where she remained until her death. Angie is survived by her husband Mark Urbain, mother Senja Hawks, sisters Jennifer Potter (Nathan) and Heather Runyon. As well as her nieces and nephews Hannah, Ethan, Gabriel, Jared and Russell Potter and Keirah and Aidan Runyon. To her nieces and nephews, she was fondly known as "Aunt Gigi".
