She was a member of Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church in Meire Grove. Agnes won multiple awards for her painting and her coloring. She enjoyed cooking and baking; her specialty was baking gingerbread. She listened to many radio broadcasts of the Meire Grove Grovers and Albany High School ball games, enjoyed an occasional trip to the casino, and loved taking Sunday drives with Grandma. Her patience, wisdom, and ability to listen to others will always be admired.
