Born and raised in Glynnwood, Ohio, Aggie cherished her childhood on the family farm and often shared fond memories of growing up alongside her six siblings. She was especially proud of her Irish heritage and found great joy in singing with her sisters.
Aggie was a graduate of St. Joseph High School in Wapakoneta, Ohio, and earned her nursing degree from St. Rita’s School of Nursing in Lima, Ohio. She worked as a Registered Nurse at Mount Carmel Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
While nursing was an important part of her life, Aggie’s greatest devotion was to her family. She was a loving mother who supported and encouraged her children, and she found immense joy in being a grandmother. Her grandchildren were among her greatest blessings, and she cherished every opportunity to spend time with them.
Faith was the cornerstone of Aggie’s life. A devoted parishioner of St. Mary Church in Berea for 66 years, she was a familiar face in the parish community and could often be found attending the 9:00 a.m. weekday Mass. Her faith guided her daily life and inspired her commitment to serving others.
Aggie volunteered with the Smiles Program at St. Mary School for more than fifteen years. Working alongside a group of valued friends, she patiently encouraged countless children in their learning.
In her leisure time, Aggie enjoyed playing cards with her bridge club, spending time on the golf course, and gathering with friends and family. She also looked forward to family vacations at Michillinda, where days spent by the lake were filled with laughter, love, and treasured family memories.
Aggie will be remembered for her beautiful smile, nurturing spirit, unwavering faith, and deep love for her family. Her kindness, generosity, and gentle presence touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
