I knew Agnes as a co-worker at Noland Company. She always had an upbeat personality, always had a smile, and was very gracious. She was an exceptional, thoughtful person. My sincere condolences to the family.

Agnes was a staple figure at ICC! She was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor! And she was a strong advocate for the youth group, always donating funds to help with fundraising events and especially with helping the youth attend conferences. What a lovely soul she was! Agnes, you will be very much missed!

Agnes was so good bout sending greeting cards to her fellow parishioners. We shared a birthday and I was so pleased to always hear from her. She had a very big heart.

Agnes was a lovely lady and a gentle soul. We worked together on a couple of ICC committees and she was always a joy to be around with a terrific sense of humor and a great laugh. She is missed. Our condolences to her family.

I just read the notification from church. Aggie was the first person I met when I started at Noland Company and we just kept on staying in touch at Immaculate Conception Church. Beautiful person. To her family, I sent my prayers of comfort to you all.

After graduating from Notre Dame High School in Milwaukee, Agnes joined the United State Air Force. While serving at her first duty station in Brooklyn, NY she met her future husband. Shortly after marrying she was honorably discharged. She spent 20 years supporting her husband’s career and raising her four children. As her children grew, she chose to return to work working for the IRS, Military Exchange, Kohler Company, and Noland Company, from where she retired after 30 years of service to them. She was a resident of Hampton for more than 40 years.
She was a faithful member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Hampton.
