Angie Noël Wilhoit, age 47, passed away on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Madigan Army Medical Center in Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, from colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family—parents, Mel and Susan Wilhoit, and sister, Christie Wilhoit Walters. Angie was also surrounded by a large body of loving and caring friends made over the course of her 20-year military career. She was a Lt-Colonel in the Army, serving as a nurse at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C., Germany, Afghanistan, Korea, and Washington state.

She graduated from Rhea County High School in 1997 and Bryan College in 2003. After time in the Coast Guard, she went on to earn a degree in Nursing from John Hopkins University in Baltimore and a Master of Science in Nursing/Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Western University.

Her travels took her all over the world where she enjoyed scuba diving, hiking, rock climbing, and skiing. Her travels also involved mission trips to Zimbabwe, Africa and Europe. She especially enjoyed time with her family including her nephew, Jude, and nieces, Cassidy and Abigail Walters. Her life was characterized by her generosity and love for others. She loved much and was much loved.

Angie will be laid to rest next to her brother, Robbie, in Rhea Memory Gardens in Dayton, Tennessee. A Celebration of Life service with full military honors will be held at a later date to honor her service as a combat veteran and Lieutenant Colonel.
