Nina Elizabeth Agee

Nina E. Agee, age 88, passed away on December 23, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas. Nina was born to parents Emma and Luther Crass on January 1, 1933 in Harriman Tennessee. At 18, Nina joined the Air Force and was stationed in Tacoma, Washington where she met the love of her life, Howard Agee. During their 65 year marriage they raised three daughters and enjoyed tours in California, Germany and Hawaii. However, San Antonio is where Nina felt most at home and in 1971 they made it their permanent residence. As a young mother, Nina was president of South San Antonio Girl Scouts and had multiple troops in underprivileged neighborhoods. Later, she had a long career in retail, working at Frost Brothers where she made lifelong friends with clients and co-workers. Nina was an avid Spurs fan, enjoyed gardening, sewing, bowling, and was an excellent bridge player. She was a devoted mother to her three daughters but her heart was especially captured by her five grandsons. Ninas true talent was hospitality. She enjoyed cooking for all that came through her door and many came for her cooking! Everyone felt loved and accepted in her presence. She was preceded in death by her parents, Luther Crass and Emma Jane Maupin, her husband Howard Eli Agee, and her brother Tom Crass. Nina is survived by her daughters, Nancy Fishback (Richard), Susan Sheehan (Patrick), Cindy Agee (John Spence); her siblings Pauline Crass, Mitchell Crass, Norma Jean Patterson, and Fred Crass; 5 grandchildren, Bowman and Lucas Fishback, Connor and Ty Sheehan, Harrison Agee Spence; and 6 great-grandchildren.

The family is eternally grateful to Leticia Smith, Elizabeth Mast and Dora Dubos, faithful friends and caregivers the last few years of her life.

Nina will be interred with her husband Howard at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to your choice of charitable organizations or to Impact San Antonio (impactsanantonio.org).
