Agnes and Earl made their home on Agard Road, Trumansburg, for over 50 years. She then made her way to Cortland, NY living there until 1996 when at age 80 years, she bravely started a new segment of life in Canada with her daughter, Olive and son-in-law, Hugh MacDonald in Vancouver, British Columbia. We celebrate her life and give thanks for the generations of good people she and Earl brought about. Her strength, determination, love of family, creativity and unique sense of humor will remain with us forever. A quiet lady, strong of character, Agnes worked with Earl on the farm, helped family and neighbors by providing loving daycare and was a long time kitchen worker at Taughanock Falls Inn. She had the strength of character to be the true survivor she really was. Agnes will be remembered by all of her family for generations to come as an inspiration when life gets rough.
