Agnes, a 1951 graduate of Lexington High School, was a home maker and enjoyed gardening, raising flowers, all types of needle work and taking care of her family and friends; all skills she learned as a depression-era sharecroppers’ daughter and she was happy to pass on to any wishing to learn. She was a collector of many beautiful things….bells from all over the world, dolls and glassware. She loved a good yard sale!!
