Cicely Angleton, 89, died September 23 at her home in Great Falls, VA.
She was born Cicely Harriet d'Autremont, April 8, 1922 in Duluth, Minnesota. The family moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1929 because of her younger brother's poor health.
In 1943, she married James Angleton, later chief of CIA counterintelligence, with whom she had three children. She graduated from Vassar College with an English degree in 1947 and earned a doctorate in Medieval History from the Catholic University of America, Washington D. C. in 1984.
Following her husband's death in 1987, she devoted herself to writing poetry, publishing three books and recording podcasts of her works that are available through the Library of Congress.
A piercing intellect, unbridled affection for family and friends, curiosity, optimism, and a love of laughter were among the qualities that distinguished her. To know her was to love her and all who knew her are better for it.
Survivors include three children, James C. Angleton of Los Angeles, Guru Sangat Kaur Khalsa of Great Falls and Siri Hari Kaur Angleton-Khalsa of Espanola, N.M, two grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and innumerable relations, including nephew Peter Angleton and his family of Boise.
