Those who knew Angela Gettis, the 16-year-old Washington Preparatory cheerleader who collapsed during a football game Friday and later died, said cheering was not just an extracurricular activity for her. It was her life.
“There is nothing in the world she enjoyed more,” Principal Todd Ullah said in a statement Monday, the first day of class after her death.
Classmates said she brought that same vitality to the hallways of the Westmont high school. She was vibrant, funny and always one of the brightest students in class.
She was popular, her classmates say, someone you wanted to be around.
On a number of Facebook pages set up over the weekend, friends offered their memories: Hanging out with her at lunch. A retreat at Lake Arrowhead. The smile always on her face. The spirit she had as a cheerleader.
