Agnes wore many hats throughout her life. It was very important to her, that no matter what job she did, it was done to the best of her ability. She was first and foremost a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, daughter, Aunt, and friend. She was also a housewife, managed a greenhouse, was a florist, and a bus driver, she delivered papers, and usually worked multiple jobs at once. And for the past 13 years was a Sales Associate at the Parker Walmart.

She loved her family, and friends. Was an inspiration to so many who were fortunate enough to meet her. She kept her head up and didn’t believe in complaining. Her positive attitude and smile were infectious, and made most want to emulate the example she set.

She was preceded in death by Ed Cottrell (husband), Joyce Cottrell (infant daughter), Chris Cottrell (grandson), and her 7 brothers (John, Bill, Bob, Red, Jim, Chuck and Bernie).
