Powers were special neighbors. When we moved to Scipio-1948- Aggie brought a May Day basket and hung it on our door. We had never heard of such a thing. I continue to do so. She taught me a life-long tradition. I am sorry that Scipio no longer has Aggie to keep things in order. My love and sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Aggie´s passing. As a kid in Scipio Center I grew up with all of the "Powers" kids and Agnes kept an eye on all of us. Loved going upstairs over the post office and dressing up in all the old stage costumes! Fond memories... she had a good long life and will be missed by her community.
My sincere condolences to the family.

Mary, Teresa, Flo and all,
Agnes was a rock to many, had a huge heart and was always kind and welcoming. She also kept us on our toes. Many, many fond memories of Agnes, the blizzard of '66 with Agnes, Tom and y'all comes to mind. Nothing like family! God bless all.

Dear Mary,Teresa, Florence andFamilies
Sending my deepest condolences at this sad time. Although I never stopped as often as I should have, how I loved my visits with Agnes when I did. She would always help connect the dots to our family tree. I especially enjoyed my visit two years ago November,you girls were all there with little ones running around and you were working on making your dads peanut brittle. Then COVID, slowed all visits, yet was so glad to see most of you again just this past Fall up atSt.Bernards for the dedication of the bell.I will miss Agnes and think of her and remember all my warm memories of my life in Scipio, whenever I drive through. Love to you all.

I will never forget as a small child exploring the " old post office" with her grandchildren. Agnes was a sweet grandmother figure who loved to have us kids from the neighborhood around. She will be missed
