OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — A community leader and owner of Oakland’s popular Angel Cakes bakery has died after being in a medically-induced coma following injuries sustained during a robbery, her family said.
The family and friends of Jen Angel released a statement, in part: “Jen believed in a world where everyone has the ability to live a dignified and joyful life and worked toward an ecologically sustainable and deeply participatory society in which all people have access to the things they need, decisions are made by those most directly affected by them, and all people are free and equal.”
The statement goes on to say Angel’s organs will be donated per her wishes, with the medical team informing the family they will serve to help the lives of up to 70 people.
