Re: Angel Smedley and Quacker Factory

If the Q owned QF it would be on five times every day like SG and D&Co. My guess is no, they don't own it.

Re: Angel Smedley and Quacker Factory

On QuackerFactory.com, Jeanne's son, Tim Bice, posted this month on Family Easter Memories. http://www.quackerfactory.com/Quacker-News_2/Angels-Blog_2/Family-Easter-Traditions

Also, before Angel, there was another gal who represented Jeanne on shows when Jeanne couldn't be there. I don't remember her name, but she had shortish brown hair.

Thanks for the link, teachgrd3.

The other rep's name was Jo Mercer. I thought she did a good job, too, but there was no one like Jeanne.

I agree! I read Angel's blog awhile ago, they have their own website and I think they had items for purchase on it. I miss Jeanne but I think Angel has represented the line well. On the show yesterday they had a few "retro" items - good to see for those who needed replenishing!

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

That's how I see her too. She looked very pretty on the last couple of shows, and she presents the products in a calm manner. Jeanne picked wisely when she brought Angel onboard a few years ago.

I believe you're right.

Sadly that is correct. I don't think her daughter would have done the on-air presentations. She was on a few times, but didn't seem to care for that role. Angel does a good job.

Yes very sad her daughter Lee passed within a month of Jeanne some say from a broken heart. Angel does a fantastic job representing QF.

I read on another thread on QF that she had a daughter named Lee who died from a broken heart after her mom Jean Bice passed away! Very sad.

Whatever she is, I think she is wonderful! She does a great job and I wish she was a host! I sometimes stop and listen to her even though I don't buy Quacker clothing. Their shows are pleasant viewing.

Re: Angel Smedley and Quacker Factory

I really like Jo very much . She was really sweet and a dear friend to Jeanne. I hate that she no longer is on air with QF.
