Agnes Siemens
Agnes Siemens, 85, of Medaryville, passed away at 6:05 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, at her residence in Medaryville.
Agnes was born on Feb. 4, 1931, in Winamac, to the late Daniel and Emma (Shorter) Winter. On Aug. 10, 1949, she married Leo J. Siemens in Logansport. Leo died March 31, 2016.
First and foremost, Agnes was a devoted wife, loving mother, and doting grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family meant everything to her, and she meant the world to them. Outside of the home, Agnes continued to support her husband by acting as his Partner-In-Service in the Medaryville Lions Club and working as a secretary at Siemens Insurance Agency. She also worked as a volunteer with the Medaryville Potato Fest. In addition, she continued to show her love to her children by assisting in 4-H projects, caring for her grandchildren before they went to school, and supporting each family member in every endeavor they pursued. To quote one of her favorite songs, she was the wind beneath her family’s wings.
