February 13, 1947 - March 5, 2023 On Sunday, March 5, 2023, Agnes Patricia (Eagen) Laband, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away at the age of 76.
Agnes was born on February 13, 1947, in Vancouver, WA, to Joseph and Marie (Lynch) Eagen. The family was transferred to San Diego, CA, and lived in National City, CA. Agnes and her two sisters Joann and Judy attended Cathedral Girls High School (CGHS) where Agnes was awarded a full scholarship and served as the Student Body President 1964-65 and class valedictorian. While at CGHS she also became a master pianist and was selected as a National Merit Scholarship to attend college. Agnes matriculated at Santa Clara University and received her BA in 1969. While attending Santa Clara University, Agnes met her future husband Pierre Laband, and they married on March 14, 1970. Together they raised two daughters, Caroline and Marie, and their son Stephen.
Agnes was known for her many talents, but it was her kind and compassionate spirit that moved her through life - family came first, always. As a young person she enjoyed drawing, mastered crossword puzzles, learned German, all while delighting in preparing delicious family meals. During her college years she studied in Vienna, Austria, and in 1974 Pierre and she were transferred to Brussels, Belgium. There they and Caroline awaited the birth of Marie. Over the years Agnes and Pierre lived in Arizona, Texas, New York and finally settled in Trabuco Canyon, CA.
Agnes was preceded in death by her father, Joseph, her mother Marie, her brother Michael. She is survived by her husband Pierre, their children Caroline (Mike), Marie, and Steve (Shannon), seven grandchildren - Lorelai, Griffin, Travis, Kylie, Triston, Beau, and Nolan, her sisters Joann (Phil Pirofalo) and Judy (Dennis Helfand) and several cousins, nieces, and nephews. A Celebration of Agnes's life will be heard at a future date.
