Angelique Duryee

Angelique Christina Duryee, born January 19, 1969, made a remarkable impact on the world with her unique blend of wit, loyalty, creativity, and reliability. A lifelong resident of Rockton, IL, where she brought a sense of joy, enchantment, and steadfastness to her community. Her captivating spirit and charming humor reflected her vibrant personality. She found her calling as a caregiver in handicap residence homes, a field where her reliability shone and where she made endless contributions.

Angelique was an avid collector of frog and Jesters figurines, and she had a unique talent for painting fairy tale murals with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Her creativity extended to her love for writing fantasy stories about trolls, fairies, hobbits, and other mystical creatures. Her stories were not simply tales; they were journeys into magical worlds that reflected her whimsical and imaginative spirit. Angelique was a lifelong learner, always seeking to inspire herself and her children - her most cherished treasures - to never stop exploring the world of knowledge.

Angelique is survived by her loving children, Zoe (Kevin) Harper and TJ Eddie, her father, Arnold Duryee, and her sister, Sasha Davis, half brothers Chris and Dale Duryee. She was preceded in death by her mother, Margaret Davis. Angelique's absence is deeply felt, but her incredible spirit lives on in the hearts of those she touched.
