Vange enjoyed volunteering, along with Bob, for many charitable organizations, most recently for New Horizons for New Hampshire and the Salvation Army. She enjoyed gardening, reading, appreciating and protecting nature, staying active, and above all else spending time with her family.

In addition to her immediate family, Vange leaves several grandchildren, Jason and Erin Meyer and their daughters, Natalie and Evangeline, Aimee and John Hall, their daughter, Lexi and son, Alex, Ryan Popp and his daughters, Mary-Elyse and Erin, Ethan Popp and Vanessa Leuck and their son, Aldrin, Tyler and Carlene Malek and their daughter, Ella, Austin Malek, Zachary Severance, Madeline Severance, Bethany Baylies and her daughter, Corinne.
