Angela was also the face of underwear brand Gossard and worked with boxer Henry Cooper for his Brut Aftershave ads.
The 71-year-old died in hospital in Eastbourne, East Sussex, with husband Ken by her side.
He described her as “the perfect girl.” the next Door” and “a miner’s daughter from the pits of the north who dared to dream”.
Former actor Ken, 79, said Sunderland-born Angela was scouted by a modeling agency after moving to Manchester.
He said: “She realized she couldn’t stay there and become a miner’s wife.
“She moved to Manchester and was spotted by a modeling agency.
“Immediately she was so natural. So fresh.
“A lot of models spend two hours getting ready – Angela was just ready to go.
“The first time I saw her she was wearing a pair of jeans and a striped t-shirt and looked as beautiful as everyone else.
“That’s when I knew she was the one for me.”
