Barbourville, Ky. – Angie Diane Bays, 49, of Trosper, passed away peacefully at home April 6, 2020. A life-long resident of Knox County, Angie was born lovingly on November 26, 1970 to Deborah and Robert Bays, Jr. Angie worked for numerous years as a receptionist and clerical worker in the Barbourville HUD office. Angie was a member of the Trosper Church of God.
Angie is remembered by her friends and family as “having the biggest heart of anyone” and as “being so loving”.
