Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Angela Kane was remembered at her funeral at the Devore-Snyder Funeral Home in Sunbury.
Kane was killed in a crash while on her way to work last week on U.S. 33 near Canal Winchester.
It was a socially distanced funeral to honor the 51-year-old woman everyone described as happy and smiley.
Angela, or Angie to friends, had worked for 10 years for the Franklin County Sheriff's office at the main jail.
“She was amazing. She had a smile on her face, she was always encouraging, she was dependable. She loved her job, she loved her family,” Lt. Amber Benson, who worked the second shift at the jail with Kane, said.
“Had a calm demeanor, loved to laugh, very passionate about what her job was and being in the uniform,” Chief of Corrections Penny Perry-Balonier said.
She was known for her love of quilting and would blanket coworkers with them and love for special occasions.
“She always had a group of individuals where they would sit down and quilt together,” Perry-Balonier said.
Even people who had never met Kane showed up along the procession route to pay their respects.
“Just out here showing support,” Kyle Bickel, who lined the route with his 18-month-old son, said.
Law enforcement from the surrounding area showed their support as well sending off Deputy Kane with honor.
“I'm sad she's gone, but I thank god for the time we had her with us,” Benson said.
“I believe that Deputy Kane will be shining down on us,” Perry-Balonier said.
