Angie grew up on the family farm in Kintyre until her dad retired from farming in 1946. The family then moved to Linton, North Dakota. After graduating from Linton High School in 1952, she attended Aberdeen School of Business in Aberdeen, South Dakota. She then moved to Billings, Montana where she met her husband, Jim (James L.) Swain. They married October 1, 1955, and their lives were blessed with five children. Jim and Angie divorced in 1983, and in June 1987 she married Joseph Schatz and moved to Lodi, California. Joe passed away in October 2013, and in January 2015, Angie moved to Greeley, Colorado, to be closer to family.

From 1977 – 1982, she was a warranty bookkeeper at Ryan Oldsmobile, and from 1982 to June, 1987, she worked at Eastern Montana College where she was an accounting clerk in the business office. She proudly tutored adults, most of whom were Eastern European immigrants, in English at the Lodi Public Library for several years. Throughout her life she remained active in Church, serving on many committees and service clubs.
