Tina,
The quick answer to your question is, NO. People don't become an angels when they die. People who go to heaven become Saints, not angels. Why? Because Angels aren't human people. They too were created by God, but as totally spiritual beings.
Humans were created as both spiritual beings AND also physical beings. We have a physical body. Angels do not. We know that we will have new bodies in heaven, perfect, resurrected bodies. We know that because Paul tells us that in his letter to the Philippians: Phil 3:21 "He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body ..." He also tells us that in 1 Cor 15:40 "There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies ..." and when the trumpet sounds announcing the end of earthtime, "we shall be changed." 1 Cor 15:52b
Angels will always be fully spiritual beings because that is the nature which God gave them when He created them.
