Angelene died today. She was our cook at Winedale for my 30 years of Shakespeare at Winedale. She loved cooking and she loved Shakespeare at Winedale. In 1980 she promised me that she would retire only when I did. And she kept that promise. Many of you do not know but at the end of each summer, she gave me a greeting card on which she wrote simply “Thanks”. Inside was a folded new 100 bill. For 30 years. For Shakespeare at Winedale. And you likely don’t know that when she cooked fried chicken, she saved the wings for me, hiding them in the kitchen.
She loved every one of you too.

Oh my god, Doc, what a blow to the heart. Angelyne was someone whose Love came through in the food that she made, every morsel, every serving cooked up with the sense of who it was being made for. She was so generous to all of us students, and now to learn how generous she was to you and the program is so beautiful. God bless her in every way.

As a yougling participant, nee class member of the 1988 and 1989 summer classes of University of Texas Shakespeare at Winedale program, I can remember sneaking down into the kitchen at night and discovering that the pies and pastries had been magically prepped and cooked for the dumb kids from UT. It is right and fair that the labor of producing these staples (especially the bread) should be hidden from the incoming students. WE WERE Hogwarts before that seed was even planted, plus, it set me forth towards a temporary career as a pastry chef. I can remember taking to Angelene about the soup to nuts production of the daily fare...she rolled her eyes and explained that this is how it was always done. Thank you dear friend. You gave years and years of your life towards keeping these ungrateful kids fed. I now know how hard this was. Tonight....I shall bake a loaf or wheat bread using the recipe you gave me when I was a stupid 22 year old. I will slice it, and deliver it to the homeless people standing in line at the ARCH. (Actually, your recipe makes like 10 loaves, but I math-ed it down.). Thank you for my life Angelene.

Doc, it would be great to compile all these responses to be read—or posted—as a tribute at Angeline’s funeral.

There isn't a lot I can add to the fine recollections already sent by my fellow alumni. I remember Angelene's sweet nature and kindness. She always smiled, an indication in her case of her love for her work (and doing it on a small scale has taught me how much work cooking is). I always thanked the cooks, but I was always a good bit more grateful for Angelene's cooking. May she be long remembered and loved by those who knew her.

I cannot think of Angelene without being warmed again by the steady glow of her love, which I saw in her face not only every time I was there for the program, but even for the decades when I just showed up as a guest. All the years later, whenever I saw her and our eyes would meet, she'd light up in recognition, and it was as if hardly any time had passed at all. Her name was the big clue, left right out in the open--she was an angel. And I feel blessed to have known her and to have been blessed by her love and care.

How wonderful to see that photo that David (Sharpe) sent from 1983. I remember being overwhelmed by the food at Winedale which seemed to come from heaven (and in large quantities). The local friends who became part of the support system at Winedale were every bit as much a part of the process as the characters in the plays we performed. It is heartbreaking to let any of them go.

As a starving grad student at the time I came to Winedale, one of the best parts of the program for me was getting fed regularly and fed so well, with so much care and love that it was as though I had come home and had my mother feeding me again after years of getting by on my own meager and irregular efforts. That whole kitchen was full of love and care and warmth, and Angeline was the center of it. I remember just going in there and standing to the side at times to soak in the atmosphere. I put on weight both summers I was there, which was incredible given the amount of energy that was pouring out of me every day. I wouldn't have had that energy and that feeling of home without Angelene and the other ladies.
Much love to you, Angeline. I know you're up there somewhere cooking.

One time the class had left a mess in the kitchen from a banquet the night before. I tried to get up early to clean it up before Angelene arrived but she beat me to it. I felt terrible and apologized. I remember Angelene saying in her Texan-German accent, "That's ok, Madge. There's always more water and we just wash it all away." It was an incredibly kind and wise and comforting thing to say and I think about it often.
Thank you for letting us know, Doc.

I remember Angelene fondly for how humble she was about the important role she played. Among all the big, medium, and ("there are no") small parts, she may have just played the most important one. And yet she was happy to watch us stroll/sashay/saunter in and gobble up her fare. She was generous, patient, and loving, even if we forgot to say thank you to the woman who clearly loved cooking for a whole passle of students. How lucky so many of us are.
I have a clear picture in my mind of Doc thrusting her into the limelight and bragging on Angelene. I like looking at that...
Love,
Anne

Sad day. I remember her fondly. I remember one of us mansplaining to poor Angelene how to peel garlic, and she stood by so patiently and listened to the whole thing! Humble, sweet, good. I'll never forget her.

Angelene... so sad to hear this. she was/is a Winedale legend. in 1980 after I told her I loved sweet pickles with fried chicken, she always had a little bowl of sweet pickles that she handed to me in the line at dinner. I will never forget the smile on her face every time... Doc, you and her family are in our prayers. Bruce

I always eavesdrop on these email threads with pleasure. But I am so moved by everyone’s remembrances of Angelene, the Winedale cook, I wanted to add my thoughts.
I remember her well, her warmth, her interest in us, another crew of summer visitors. And I remember her food, which was wonderful, country, and sometimes, for me, curious. (That sugary sweet Mexi-German salsa?) She had a generous heart and I won’t forget her.

Oh, Doc, I just love how you zero in on your relationship with Angelene, and the so many rich memories inspired by the news of her death. Thank you, fellow Winedalers, for every one of them.
LOVE, Alice
PS I am a newish fan of chicken wings, the ones that almost fall off of supermarket-roasted chicks, and every time I take pleasure from same, I will think of you and Angelene both, Doc.

Angelene died today. She was our cook at Winedale for my 30 years of Shakespeare at Winedale. She loved cooking and she loved Shakespeare at Winedale. In 1980 she promised me that she would retire only when I did. And she kept that promise. Many of you do not know but at the end of each summer, she gave me a greeting card on which she wrote simply “Thanks”. Inside was a folded new 100 bill. For 30 years. For Shakespeare at Winedale. And you likely don’t know that when she cooked fried chicken, she saved the wings for me, hiding them in the kitchen.
She loved every one of you too.
Doc
