Beloved columnist and feature writer for the North County Times at the time of her passing. She authored an award-winning advice series for teens called "The Road to College", and her regular column "My Two Cents Worth." Prior to her four years at the North County Times she worked at the Orange County Register, Long Beach Press Telegram, Los Angeles Times, Stamford (Connecticut) Advocate, and earlier as a social worker. Agnes grew up in the Boston projects, graduated from Chapman University and Middlesex Community College and attended Long Beach City College. She did not begin her career in journalism until late in her forties after receiving her English degree in 1998.
Since the announcement of her death at home from an apparent heart attack appeared on the front page of the November 28 edition of the North County Times there has been an outpouring of praise and grief from her co-workers and her readership at large.
A scholarship fund for young people has been set up in her name by the North County Times, the Agnes Diggs Road to College Scholarship Fund.
Daughter of Ernest Jackson Diggs & Mary Etta Lytle.
