Angelica Lynn (Beanzee) Riojas, 25, of Shelley, passed away on July 27, 2023, in a tragic car accident.  My beautiful baby girl, Beanzee, was born on August 14, 1997, I remember it was the afternoon when she was born in Butte, MT.

Beanzee was the third child of Debbie Riojas, and her first daughter.  She was the light of all our lives. Her grandpa would always hold her and call her Jellies. Jellybean stuck but overtime got shortened to beans and all the kids would call her Beanzee and that's what we called her after that. We moved to Firth, Idaho when she was in kindergarten and moved back to Montana where she spent most of her childhood, but eventually made it back to Shelley, Idaho in 2015.  She received her GED in 2018.  She enjoyed working with her hands and had the patience to put anything together, she was really good when it came to working on cars.  She was very intelligent and any time we needed help with computers we called her, and she was there ready to fix our problem. Beanzee's smile would light up a room and her laugh was so genuine and contagious that you couldn't help but laugh right along with her. She was full of life and spread it to everyone who met her. Angelica loved pretty things; her favorite color was purple her football team was the New England Patriots. She also loved to go shopping but her passion was doing hair and makeup and anything that had to do with beauty and skin care. She attended Austin Kade Academy where she was working towards her esthetician license.

Beanzee fell in love with Anthony Gonzales, and they became one in 2014.  Anthony and Angelica had three beautiful children together Aaleyah (8 years old), Aanjelo (5 years old), and Aauzie (3 years old).  Anthony was the love of her life until he passed away from COVID.

Angelica and Aaleyah were the best of friends and did everything together, they were inseparable. Aaleyah looked up to her mom and always made sure she did everything to protect her mom. Beanzee loved going fishing with Anthony, playing board games, and having game nights with her friend McKinley. But most importantly she loved spending time with and being around her family.  Beanzee always had a special way with kids it didn't matter whose kids they were they all loved to be around her. She had her personal favorite, Reina, they were best friends they were always on the phone together. Reina always knew where Beanzee was at.  Angelica then fell in love with Gabe and had her fourth child Antonio (2 months old).

Angelica loved her family, her extended family, and her friends.  She was a very caring, loving, and beautiful woman; she was taken from us too soon and will be dearly missed.

Angelica is survived by her mother, Debbie Riojas; dad, Mike Koski; father, Scott Argeris; brothers: Roman and Joe Riojas; sister, Arika Koski; her four beautiful children: Aaleyah, Aanjelo, Aauzie, and Antonio; her aunts, uncles, cousins, and many more friends and family.
