Blowing snow and icy roads have been blamed by Michigan State Police troopers for contributing to the cause of a crash on Interstate 96 early Monday that claimed the life of a 22-year-old Lake Odessa Woman. Rockford State Police Troopers said Angela Kay (Coates) McDiarmid died at the scene of the crash in which her car collided with a semi-tractor trailer near Segwun Avenue in Lowell Township at about 8:45 a.m. No other information on the crash was available at press time Wednesday. McDiarmid was an honors student currently attending Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, pursuing a degree in special education. The victim was the daughter of Gary and Kay (Yonkers) Coates and was a 1996 Lakewood High School graduate. She had married Corey McDiarmid on Jan. 30, 1999. “Music was a special interest of Angie’s and she loved to play the violin,” according to her obituary. “Angie was a spirited and playful young lady who was always willing to extend her hand to others.” Her family and friends knew they could count on Angie to recognize the positive and “to bring out the best in them,” her obituary reads. Visitation will be today, Thursday, Dec. 14, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa. Her funeral will be held Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the Sunfield United brethren Church, with burial in Lakeside Cemetery.
