Agnes Box

I have many memories of my time at OIT and working in the computer center. Agnes was always kind to me and always offered encouragement to me. I´m sad to learn of her passing.

So sad to learn of Agnes passing. She was so kind to me as a student worker in her area. I remember working with her, Rick Lengel, Cher, Rose, and Bill Lewis in OIT campus computing in South Hall (now Bovine Hall). She was so nice and pleasant and helpful to me and my work and duties. I had no idea she was in Ashland, OR for a while where I grew up and oddly enough in the same time frame her son Thomas was there, and he was a few years older than me. Truly Sad. I was looking up Dr. Winston...

I met Agnes when I was a consultant for OIT some 15 years ago, thus initiating a friendship that endured until her untimely passing. We didn't have many occasions to meet face-to-face but our many email conversations were something I always very much looked forward to. She was a remarkable person in so many ways.

I just found out lastnight that Agnes passed away. Shocked is an understatement. I always thought I would have a chance to catch up with her. We all knew where to find Agnes. I'll never forget her and it will always sadden me to think she is gone.

I have many fond memories of Agnes over the past nearly 20 years. We worked together on many councils, boards and committees. She was a model of professionalism and at the same time a warm, caring person. I am deeply saddened by her passing.

I will miss working with Agnes. She was a real asset to OIT and to rural Oregon communities as a whole. She was dedicated in her zeal to bring available technologies to all of Oregon. She was an ambassador for OIT and for the state. She will be missed.

Agnes was my techno-rock and I will not be forgetting both the knwoledgte she imparted to me and the care with which she did her work and lived her life. Thank you Agnes - Pam Berrian, City of Eugene

Agnes will be greatly missed. She did so much for higher education and the telecommunications community of Oregon. Her tireless dedication to her job, state and family will not be forgotten.

The bittersweet tears I’ve shed will soon be far outshined by the overwhelming joy, when I am reunited with the entire family of God, including Agnes, my dear friend and sister in Christ Jesus, the LORD of all Creation. Shalom!
