I figured, \u2018They really like me!\u2019 \u201c(I\u2019m just) laughing at it, really. It\u2019s better to have a sense of humour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAngela also said she had a will to live longer so she could see her grandchildren graduate from high school and college.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe rumours of Angela\u2019s death spread after she suffered health complications in the wake of two strokes in 2006 and 2007. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe told The Denver Post in 2011 after a five-year break from showbusiness so she could focus on her health: \u201cI feel happy performing again. I need (the) crowd \u2013 (it\u2019s) in the blood (to) entertain. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAny time a crowd comes to see me, I\u2019m surprised. No sing no more and still people come. Wow.
