Agnes was in the first grade one class at Holy Trinity School in 1922, and took part in the school’s closing 82 years later. In her early years she was a Girl Guide Leader at Holy Trinity Church and then the founding leader of St. Pius X Girl Guides. She worked at King Square Jewelers, Creaghan’s, D’Allaird’s, and retired after many years as switchboard operator at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
