Angeline “Joy” Want (nee Gliha), age 73 of Cleveland, passed away March 7, 2017 at UH Geauga Medical Center. She was born October 7, 1943 to the late Frank and Angeline Gliha. Angie retired as a chef from the Cleveland Clinic, also worked as a canape maker for Hough Bakery Inc. and a cook for Euclid Provision Meats.

Always taking the time to maintain contact with family and friends. She made an impact on everyone she met. The word sacrifice was no stranger to her.
