Agnes Vaughan Obituary

Agnes D. Vaughan VIRGINIA BEACH - Agnes D. Vaughan went to be with the Lord July 12, 2009. She was a courageous woman, a loving wife, a devoted mother of six children, and a wonderful friend. She and her husband, James, shared a lifetime together beginning with a childhood friendship that blossomed into a marriage of 68 years, which can only be described as magical. Agnes is survived by her husband, James E. Vaughan Sr.; her six children, Jim, Carol, Gary, Mike, Janet, and Vickie and their spouses, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family will join together in a private celebration of Agnes' life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society.

Grandmothers are blessings from heaven above
Each one is handpicked, just especially for us.
They have special gifts, that bring a smile to our face
And we know when they're gone, they can never be replaced.

This place where they go, when they leave us on Earth
Is too beautiful to explain but its the place of their birth.
God gave us this time, to share her with us.
But it's time to go home, to his place up above.

No worries or woes to ever deal with
Just flowers and sunshine, and counting of ducks.
She'll watch from above, to make sure we're safe
Sometimes sneaking a peek or maybe a small kiss on the cheek.

You'll never forget them, nor will they forget you
And she’ll hold you your place, until its your turn.
So don't mourn her too long, for she is now safe at home
With her God, friends and other loved ones, she’s never alone.
I love you Na-na! I miss you so much already.
Love, Cindy, Vincent, Vinny, Nickolas, & Vinita Negron
