Agnes was a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Waynesboro where she was on the Alter Guild for many years. She also volunteered at Waynesboro Community Hospital as a “Pink Lady,” was a founding member of the Rosecliff Garden Club, and a former member of the Tuesday Club in Augusta County.

At one time, Agnes knew just about everyone in Waynesboro. She will always be known for her kindness, compassion, and gracious manner. Agnes loved being a mom, grandmother (Nanny), and great-grandmother. Agnes had a deep faith in God and set the example for a Southern lady. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
The family would like to thank the staff at Summit Square and Legacy Hospice for the loving care she received.
