In Loving Memory of Angel Marie Curtis

Angel Marie Curtis, age 30, of Michigan, began her journey to the Spirit World unexpectedly on Saturday August 22nd, 2026.

Angel was born on September 19th, 1995, in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Yebishawn Oldshield and Andy Curtis. She was a proud citizen of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi and a member to the Wolf Clan. Her beautiful Spirit name Minwaywaygiszhiq , meaning “Dancing Sky Women” reflected the beauty and spirit she carried throughout her life.

Angel was a bright light and a gentle friend to all who had the honor of knowing her. Her presence brought warmth, laughter, and a sense of joy to those around her. Above all else, Angel loved being a mother. Her son, Ai-Kee’ Marr II, was the center of her world, and the love she had for him will continue to live on through him.

Angel was also known for her unmistakable sense of style. Whether it was her shoes, clothes, accessories, or hair, she had a way of making every look uniquely her own. She was never afraid to stand apart, express herself, and look amazing while doing it. She could spend hours shopping, searching for the next bold, loud outfit or style that would perfectly reflect her personality.

Angel also carried an adventurous spirit. She loved traveling and experiencing new places, journeying across the United States whenever she had the opportunity. She embraces life with curiosity and a willingness to see what was beyond the next horizon.

Though her time here was far too short, Angel leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, individuality, motherhood, friendship, and family. Her memory will continue to live in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. We will think of her when we feel the wind upon our faces, when we see the trees of the forest move and dance, and in the beauty of the world around us. Her spirit is with us, and her love will never leave us.

Angel is survived by her parents, Yebishawn Oldshield and Andy Curtis; son, Ai-Kee’ Marr II; siblings, Autumn Curtis, April Curtis, George (Autumn Orlando) Webber, Alyssa Oldshield, Louis McGillis, Alana Curtis, Amber Webber, Ashley Webber, and Brittany Webber; niece, Zeegwun Caldwell; nephews Zhabwate Caldewell, Giizhigaate Webber, Jacob Jackson, J’Sean Spencer, and Emiliano Doniaz; grandmothers, Angeline Francisco and Linda Deloof; along with many extended family members, relatives, friends, and community members who will forever cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her grandfather’s Philip Francisco, Elliot Curtis and Butch Old Shield.
