Angel Smedley and Quacker Factory

I know that Angel was a model for QF years ago. Then in the last couple of years of Jeane's life Angel had a bigger role. Now she is the lone spokesperson. Did she inherit QF or is she merely the representative?

I don't know for sure of course but my guess is that Angel is merely the rep, the public face of the brand. Don't you think that, by now, QVC owns the brand?

Yes, that's quite possible. I can't remember Jeanne ever mentioning family so I don't know who might have inherited.

Not 100% sure, but the last info I saw showed that the Quacker Factory brand was owned by The Quack Inc. and Timothy Bice is the president of the company.

Re: Angel Smedley and Quacker Factory

I think Angel said at some point that Jeanne's children are the new leaders of the brand (President? CEO?). Angel is an employee (or maybe a contractor). Don't know if QVC owns the company, but would not be surprised if they did.

That sounds as if The Quack is still a privately owned company and that a Bice is the president. Thanks for the information.

I think Angel is an employee - and today she's looking the loveliest ever - even prettier than she looked as a model years ago. Way to go, Angel!

Angel is one of the most natural, relaxed hosts. Nothing phony there. Sweet, smart lady.

Didn't Jeanne have a daughter who passed away not long after she did?
