Born and raised in Johnstown, Agnes earned degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Agnes was proud to have worked as a school teacher in Allegany County Public Schools for nearly forty years. She had fond memories of students, friends, and co-workers during her teaching career. In retirement, Agnes volunteered as a Board Member for Ray of Hope. She enjoyed flowers, shopping, and jelly-donuts. Her hand-made Christmas wreaths adorned many local doors through the years, and she recently donated the Christmas tree for the Flintstone community's tree-lighting. A fan of traveling, Agnes particularly enjoyed "sister trips," the Beach, and a recent trip to Slovakia to visit her grandparents' birthplace. Most of all, Agnes loved her family - whom she treated with the most tremendous love and generosity. She will be deeply missed.
