Angelica Lynn Bennett Prendergast

Angelica Lynn Bennett Prendergast, born on February 26, 1998, in Iredell County, gracefully passed away on April 8, 2024, in Nashville, TN. Angelica was of the Christian faith and attended Macedonia Baptist Church as a child and later on attended Zion Chapel. She was known for her dedication to helping others through her work in childcare for Autism Behavioral Support. Angelica was also a proud member of the United States Army, serving as a 27D, Paralegal Specialist, and was a qualified sharpshooter.
 
During her high school years, Angelica was involved in the JROTC program which laid the foundation for her future military service. She had a deep love for the ocean and marine life, horses, crocheting, playing the piano, and spending time with children. Her compassion extended to her fur babies as she adored her dogs and cat.
 
Angelica's impact on those around her was profound, leaving a lasting legacy of kindness and empathy. Her presence will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
