CRISFIELD - Ruby Madalyn Angel of Willow Street, Pa. died on Oct. 31, 2012. Madalyn, the daughter of Lottie and Alvin Blades, was born in Crisfield, Md. She attended Western Maryland College and majored in English and French, graduating cum laude. She joined the English faculty of Hyattsville High School in suburban Washington where she met Ralph Angel. They married in June 1941 and enjoyed 66 years together until his passing in 2007. They became world travelers, starting in 1950 with a summer-long tour of western Europe. They also pursued a mutual interest in the theatre. They adapted a short story entitled Prelude into a three-act play that was awarded first prize by the Pittsburgh Drama League in 1945. Madalyn taught English, journalism and drama for more than two decades at Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier and High Point High Schools. She also directed numerous plays at Mt. Rainier, enriching the lives of her student actors and earning their unending admiration. Some of her students continued to write and visit until her final days. A memorial service in her memory was held at the Lakes at Willow Valley on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Ralph and Madalyn Angel Memorial Fund (which supports an annual scholarship at Buck Lodge Middle School), c/o PNC Bank, 782 West Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania, 19087.
