Dear Susan, Neil and Agnew Family,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your mother. We know she was a great lady with a life well lived. She raised a wonderful and giving family. I was blessed to have know her. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God bless you.

During my career I served on many permanent protection divisions. Although I have been fortunate in that all protectees viewed the Secret Service as a highly professional, competent organization, none have been more considerate, caring, and personal than Mrs. Agnew and the VP. Pat and I are so pleased we hosted a party in their honor and invited SS and staff from the VP administration. Mrs Agnew was quoted as saying it was the best gift anyone could give to the VP. He passed shortly after that party.
God bless you, Pam, Susan, Randy and Kim.

Sat with the Agnews and others at a Frank Sinatra concert circa 1989. What wonderful people! Saw them several times after that in RM and OC where they always treated us warmly. I shall miss her terribly. My condolences to her family.

Judy loved her family, friends and USSS so very much, as they in turn loved her and Spiro. I and my dear departed husband Alan, was proud to be counted among their many friends.So many wonderful trips and fond memories, too numerous to count! She will be missed. Rest in peace, dear Judy.

There are so many memories and all are happy and warm. Mrs. A was always sincere, gracious and very thoughtful to all of "her boys" and their families. Some fun ones were when she said I could cook Italian sausage and peppers for the 4-12 shift in their kitchen as long as there was enough for the two of them! She always sent cards and notes to the families and our now grown childen remember her bringing "Candy Kitchen" goodies to our beach house and Kentucky Fried at hers. She was a wonderful person. What an honor to have been able to serve the VP and Mrs. A. God Bless.

I have such wonderful memories of visiting Aunt Isabel and Uncle Spiro at their condo in Ocean City, Md. They were always so generous and lots of fun to be with. I will miss those times, but will always treasure them. My thoughts and prayers go out to my cousins and also to Aunt Isabel's grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mrs Agnew was a very sweet and kind lady. She was my favorite client during all my years of caregiving. It was truly a pleasure working with her and her family.

I was newly married and my wife Vicki attended a reception with some other wives. As Vicki was introduced, Ms. A looked at her and said, "Oh. I spent the summer in Europe with your husband". She winked and the laughed. She was the best, always made her agents feel special. Our prayers are with the family.

The Vice President and Mrs Agnew were the best "protectees" the USSS had. My condolences to the family.

My aunt was a great lady and will be deeply missed. Losing her and my mother (her sister) within months of each other is a true blow.

Celebrate a life well lived. Our prayers go out to the family during this very difficult time. Mrs A was an extremely thoughtful lady to all that were around her. It was a pleasure to have known her and VP Agnew during our short time together during the 1968 campaign. Her extended family of those from the U S Secret Service (her boys) will always hold her in high esteem for being such a loving and gracious lady. She was one of the greatest of her time on this earthly place and will now "Rest in Peace" with our heavenly Lord and Savior. This will be such a time of reunion with Mr A. God bless and "Rest in Peace" good friend.

Both Mr. Agnew and Mrs. Agnew were great to work with, but it was always Mrs. Agnew that was the Mother to the agents. I recall the many trips to Ocean City to be with their friends, I think it was called the "Friday Night" crew....especially Mr. & Mrs. Dundore, also delightful people, as were all of their friends. I also fondly remember visiting Mrs. Agnew when she was working at the taffy store in Ocean City to help a friend....she was that type of person...always thinking of others, especially the Agents and their wives.

My husband, Donald Crowl was on the VP detail with Mr. and Mrs. A. She was a gracious and funny lady. She always included the USSS wives as part of the team. My thoughts are with the family.
