[Source: Arizona Republic] — Angela Cara Pancrazio, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who later became a writer and video storyteller, died June 19, 2008 at her home in Phoenix. She was 51. Angela chronicled many “slice of life” stories about the city she called home and its people.
Angela was a member of the Oakland Tribune team that won a 1990 Pulitzer for their coverage of the Bay Area earthquake of October, 1989. After working for The Oregonian in Portland, the San Jose Mercury News, and the Oakland Tribune, she joined the staff of the Arizona Republic in 1999. The Republic says she was diagnosed with an aggressive type of brain cancer in 2007, and that she died surrounded by family and friends. An avid gardener, more than a dozen gardens have been planted in Angela’s honor, the newspaper reports.
A “life celebration” will be held at Noon on Sunday, July 13, 2008, at the Phoenix Art Museum. For Angela’s obituary and guest book registry, click here. Donations in Angela’s memory can be made to Hospice of the Valley.
