Agnes had no children but was shown much love by her nieces, nephews, and neighborhood kids.\u00a0 Her memorable yearly bus trips to Montana to see nephew Pete Reed and his wife Carol ended only when she entered the home.\u00a0 Because Pete and Carol ran a bed & breakfast, Agnes was able to meet many of their guests from the United States and foreign countries.\u00a0 For the last 5 years Pete and Carol came to ND to help her celebrate her birthday . . . . always bringing a BIG cake to share with residents and the help.\u00a0 Getting mail and visits from relatives and friends made her day.\u00a0 Nephew Lowell Reed\u2019s LONG letters always brought many smiles as they were read to her.\u00a0 Agnes had such fond memories of niece Michelle Hollingsworth\u2019s visits with her dog, Lucy.\u00a0 Agnes made sure to save carmel corn from bingo to share with Lucy.\u00a0 Whenever nephew Lynn Brost was in Jamestown, his to-do list included visiting Aunt Agnes.<\/p>\n
Even though Agnes was confined to a wheelchair that didn\u2019t keep her from taking part in every activity possible-bingo, folding towels, birthday parties, different entertainment by folks from the community, and balloon volley ball (her very favorite thing).\u00a0 When Agnes entered the home, that was her home.\u00a0 Her attitude is something we could all emulate.<\/p>\n
Agnes was a member of the Jamestown Seventh-day Adventist Church where she held the offices of Sabbath School Superintendent, treasurer, and clerk for many years.\u00a0 She continued to attend church even after she entered the care center.<\/p>\n
Agnes was happiest when she was with people so being active in Credit Women\u2019s Club, Homemakers, Birthday Club, and a domino group was important to her.<\/p>\n
Agnes was a friend\u2019s friend as evident by the number of people that possess a variety of things she crocheted with loving care.\u00a0 Agnes is survived by many nieces and nephews, and friends. She will be missed.<\/p>\n
Her husband, parents, five brothers and sisters, and step-daughter preceded her in death.<\/p>\n
Visitation will be one hour before the service.\u00a0 Funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM, Thursday, March 12, 2020 at Jamestown Seventh-day Adventist Church, Jamestown, ND with Pastor Peter Simpson officiating.\u00a0 Interment at Highland Home Cemetery in the spring.<\/p>\n
