Together the couple made their home on a farm north of Fairmont and were blessed with two children, Paul and Pam. Agnes and Marvin shared over fifty-four years together before Marvin passed away on May 23, 2017.

Agnes enjoyed helping Marvin on the farm as well as being a homemaker. Once the kids were older, Agnes went to work at Jeff’s Bakery in Fairmont and later at Hy-Vee. After retiring when she was 73, she wanted to keep herself busy outside of the house so she volunteered at the Fairmont Hospital.
