Angelique (Valin) Plamondon was born 15 October 1790 in St. Hyacinth, Quebec, Canada. She married Mitchell Plamondon in St. Hyacinth 15 October 1818. Mitchell died young (probably by 1835?), leaving Angelique with six children. Three of the children died before ca 1847, when Angelique and her three remaining children moved to the United States, probably settling first in Ohio (location undetermined). By 1851 the family had moved to Henry County, Iowa, where they lived until March 1852, when the McCully wagon train started west. In Oregon, Angelique lived with her children in Salem, Marion County, until her death 11 June 1887.

Oregon Statesman, Jun 12, 1887, 3:3.
 
Mrs. Angelique Valin Plamondon was born October 15, in the year 1790, at St. Hyacinth, Canada East, where she grew to womanhood, and where she was educated. On the 15th of October, 1818, she was united in marriage to Mitchell Plamondon. At an early age she was left a widow, with a family of six young children to care for, three of whom died while she yet lived in Canada. She afterward removed to the United States, and resided for some years in New London, Conn. In 1852, in the company of her sons E. M. and F. F. and her daughter Clarissa (afterward Mrs. John Dillon), she joined the party of the late A. A. McCully, and family, and crossed the plains to Oregon. Along with her children, she settled in Salem, and here she resided until the day of her death. 
Eleven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren survive her, but her own children all preceded her to the unknown, silent land. Her death took place on Saturday, June 11, 1887, at 9:20 p.m., at the residence of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary Plamondon, with whom she made her home, and who cared for her with a daughter's devotion, during her declining years. Grandma Plamondon lived to the ripe old age of 97, and her departure was as peaceful and tranquil as had passed all the years of her life. From childhood she had been a member of the Catholic church, and she was ever a devout Christian. 
During the early days of her residence in Salem, before there was a Catholic church building in the infant town, the services of the church were often held at her home, where the ministers were always made welcome. This good woman will long be remembered by her neighbors and friends on Piety Hill, in the midst of whom she lived for more than a third of a century so quietly and unobtrusively that the outside world scarcely knew of her presence, and it is with feelings of tender regret they realize that she has faded away from this life into another and a happier existence. 
The funeral services were held at St. John's (Catholic) church, on Monday, at two o'clock, and her remains were laid to rest, at her request, near those of her children, in the beautiful Rural Cemetery, (Odd Fellows'), there to repose until the sounding of the last trump.
