Agnes worked at Idaho State University as a custodian in the administration building and the Eli Oboler Library.  She retired from Idaho State University on May 5, 1987.  She enjoyed going on rides to see ISU campus in her later years with her husband.

Agnes enjoyed many hobbies including sewing, quilting, crocheting, gardening, and most of all, spending time with her kids and grandkids.

We all loved Agnes and will miss her very much.  She touched many hearts and always had unconditional love for her friends and family.  She always found ways to serve her family, friends and neighbors.
