Agnes C. Ford

To the Ford Family -- you have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Aggie. She was one of my mother's favorite people. I remember as a child visiting her and Julia. My mom (Mary Coutu Jagodowski)was very fond of both of them.

Remembering Aggie Ford….

Aggie Ford’s life was being the Springfield Union’s Holyoke classified ad rep and social reporter on High Street. Her smile, charm and knowledge of Holyoke carried the day of many of the reporters. Many of those reporters have since died including Charlie Goddu, Paul Donoghue, Jim Regan, Gerry Cain and others. When I arrived on the Holyoke scene, the plan was coverage within a two-block area-city hall, police department and the fire station. Unlike those...

I send deep sympathy and loving regards to our many and dear cousins in the loss of Aggie, a bright star in Holyoke's history and ours.

To Aggie's extended family:

I was saddened to read of Aggie's passing. She was a truly wonderful person --- one of a kind. As a college kid I worked with her for several years at the Springfield Newspapers High Street office and always enjoyed her sharp wit and the countless stories of her many nieces & nephews.

You have my deepest sympathy,
