Agnes Carr Obituary

Agnes Julia Dawson Carr, 94, went to her heavenly home with her Lord on August 6, 2023. Agnes was born October 1,1928 to Philip & Gertrude(VanDeusen) Dawson. Agnes was preceded in death by her sister Ruth(Bob) Mills, brother Robert(Doris) Dawson and sister-in-law Ruth(Dick) Dutcher.

She is survived by her loving husband, William, of 71 years. Also her children Sharon(Paul) Schroth of Evington,Va., Katherine(Roger) Stewart of Unadilla,NY & Don(Liza Lamb) Carr of Manlius, NY. Eight grandchildren: Tim(Karen) Stewart, Jessica(Bud) Leizear, Jennifer(Brian) Schmoyer, Marc(Lacy) Stewart, Greg(Amaris) Stewart, Tucker & Marianna Schroth & Evan Carr. Eleven great grandchildren: Joshua & Mitchell Stewart, Johnathan Leizear, Jameson & Silas Schmoyer, Jolene, Lincoln, Michael & Thomas Stewart & Mason & Isabel Stewart.

Agnes graduated from Port Byron(NY) Central School & Auburn Business School majoring in Accounting. She was an active member of Port Byron Methodist Church, Morrisville(NY) Community Church & Port Charlotte Presbyterian Church.

In the 1970's, she along with three other women started the Madison County(NY) Office for the Aging. Agnes very much enjoyed this work in providing services for the elderly that could make a difference in their lives. In 1984 she was the recipient of the Morrisville Rotary "Roses for the Living" award.

For their retirement years, Agnes & Bill spent winters in Port Charlotte,Fl. returning to Morrisville,NY for the remainder of the year. In 2017 they moved to Lynchburg,Va. to live in closer proximity to their oldest daughter. Agnes felt blessed beyond measure to have experienced a life filled with family, valuable friendships &wonderful opportunities.

Agnes & Bill's plan is to have a joint memorial service for them both in Morrisville, NY after Bill's passing. There will be a small service for Agnes with their Liberty Ridge Senior Community. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial contributions be made to the Madison County Office for the Aging, 138 Dominic Bruno Blvd., Canastota, NY 13032.

Agnes was a pioneer as she and her two friends started the Office for the Aging in Madison County. I had the pleasure of working with her and learning from Agnes. Her advocacy was strong and always with a smile. Remembering Agnes with her love of family and for those most in need.
