Agnes was a very hard working and loving person who never met a stranger. She would give her last dollar to anyone who needed it and never complained.  She loved spending time with her family and friends, and was always a wonderful cook. Her wonderful meals were always something to look forward to on the holidays. Her home was always full of laughter and stories to listen to of her time spent growing up with her large family. We all love you Mama, and will truly miss you!

Pallbearers will include, Jon McGee, Jay McGee, Kelly Palmer, Carter Irons, Johnny Morrow, Billy Carl Morrow and Pat Jones.

Honorary pallbearers are Steve Palmer, Jay Irons and David McGee.

We want to give thanks to Hospice of the Shoals, and the recent daily care that they gave. Thanks to Norma, Vicki, Tiffany, and Jan for your compassion. Also thanks to Lisa, Deborah and Michelle.

A special thanks goes to Kim Moore. She was truly an angel sent to Mama at a time when she needed her. Mama, as well as her family, grew to love and depend on her, and was always there any time when we needed her!

We know that she is finally reunited with our daddy, as well as her family members she truly missed!
