She transferred later to McLennan Community College and graduated with her nursing degree in December of 1995. Angie achieved her Bachelor’s and her Master’s degrees in Nursing from Lamar University. Her education and furthering the lives of others was Angie’s passion, until her twins came into her world. Angie was a wonderful loving mother and enjoyed every moment she had with them. She was their biggest fan on the sidelines of their football games and cheerleading events. In December of 2016, Angie achieved her second Master’s degree from Mary Hardin Baylor University as a Nurse Practitioner. Due to her illness, she was not able to finish the testing or work as a Nurse Practitioner, but during her schooling hours she touched many lives and will be remembered for years to come for her work. Angie was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents; her mother, Cleta Maxine McAdams; and her brother, Kenneth Warren Whiteside; niece, Sarah Whiteside; nephews, Colton Lee Whiteside and Tristan Lee Whiteside; and the father of her twins, Chris Tibbitt.
Angie leaves to cherish her memory and to continue her legacy, her twins, Chance Tibbitt and Madison Tibbitt; father, Fred Whiteside; brother, Leslie Whiteside; the guardian of her children, Missty and Steven Pearson and their family; along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and a host of loving colleagues and friends.

A strong, lovely spirited woman, who will be missed too much. I feel honored to have called her a friend, and blessed with the pleasure of her company.
This beautiful lady was an encouragement to me in my nursing school years. May God be the constant comfort and peace provider through this extremely difficult time for family, friends and all of those lives she touched. Prayers are lifted up to you all!
I knew Angie for a long time – she was one of my nursing students, attended her gorgeous wedding, and was a colleague at MCC. I loved watching her love for Maddison and Chance – she was a great mother!! She touched many lives in her too short life. Prayers are sent to her children, the Pearson family who selfishly and lovingly are raising her children, and all her family and friends during this very bittersweet time.
Dance free sweet friend! Your infectious smile will be missed! Know too many to count are praying for your sweet babies! I feel blessed to have met you in school, to have found someone with similar struggles, and to have been blessed with your outlook! Until we meet again!

Angie was a dear friend of mine that we may not have spoken daily or see each other for months but knew we were both there when the other was needed. I had the pleasure of becoming her friend 24 years ago in nursing school and the honor of holding her hand as she left this heavenly earth to become a sweet angel do watch over us all. She will be greatly missed. God watch over her sweet Maddie and Chance, her daddy, family, and the Pearson’s in the days ahead.
We are very sorry to hear about this loss of Angie.
Prayers for her sweet kids and family during this difdifficult time.
Sending prayers of comfort and peace to her precious children, family and friends. I will never forget Angie’s infectious personality, and beautiful, thick, flowing red hair. Go rest high, Angie.
