We love her and miss her greatly. She was a founding-member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in North Little Rock, AR. July 27, 1947 was the first meeting for ICCC. From her nursing home bed, a then 97 year old Agnes recalled the day as much as her memory allows, “It was hot and we met under a shade tree in Joan Taldo’s front yard, it was on the corner of Club road and 107. We did not have air-conditioning, I don’t remember much but I know it was hot. We were a group of about 70 Sylvan Hills residents both catholic and non catholic; we came together that day with Bishop Albert Fletcher.” As a result of this meeting Immaculate Conception Church was founded. Agnes dearly loved God, her family, friends and her Catholic faith. A visitation will be held at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills Funeral Home located at 7724 Landers Rd N.L.R.
