Angie K. Tellis

Angie K. Tellis, 62, of Pottstown, passed away Sunday at her home surrounded by family. She was a first grade teacher for the Pottstown School District for 37 years, the majority of that time spent at Franklin Elementary. An outstanding educator, she served on the PTA, founded the school's L.I.F.E. program, and annual Thanksgiving breakfast and she was a multiple recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award. Her former students often contacted her to express what an impact she made in their lives, and many fellow faculity members became her life-long friends. Angie was a graduate of Pottstown High School, received her Bachelor of Education from Kutztown University and Masters of Education from Temple University. Fitness was important to Angie. She taught aerobics at Pottstown YMCA for many years, participated in community marathons and runs, played tennis and floor hockey and could often be spotted on her daily jogs around town. Angie was devoted to her family and acted as a caretaker to her mother for many years. Perhaps her most important legacy was her role as an exceptional and loving aunt to her six nieces and one nephew. They have countless cherished memories of outings, baking, help with school work, family vacations, and important family history lessons. She was a cornerstone of the whole family and will be deeply missed by all. This past year Angie was honored by the Pottstown Cancer Center for her bravery. The family would like to extend their appreciation to the staff of the Cancer Center for their loving care and support throughout Angie's battle. Angie was the daughter of the late John and Effie Tellis and is survived by a sister Kaliopi (Popi), wife of William Protheroe of Birdsboro; and a brother Constantine (Gus) Tellis and his wife Debbie of Pottstown. Also surviving are nieces Olivia Protheroe of Birdsboro, Emily, wife of Jeremy Nichols of Swedesboro, NJ, Millicent Protheroe of Philadelphia, Katerina (Katie) wife of Aaron Christ of Boyertown, Anna Tellis and Karli Tellis of Pottstown and a nephew John Tellis of Pottstown. She is also leaving behing her beloved chocolate lab Gussi.
