Agnes Letitia Carter Newlin, daughter of the late Hopewell U. Carter and Sarah C. Ridgeway, was born May 21, 1901 in Leipsic, Delaware. She was educated in a small school in Cheswold, Delaware.
Seeking employment at the age of seventeen, Agnes traveled to Philadelphia where many of her relatives had settled before her. Her first years of employment involved factory work and R.C.A. Victor in Camden, New Jersey.
After her marriage to the late Aubrey R. Newlin, Sr. of Philadelphia and raising her family with all the love parents could give, and with her son's enlistment in the Army, she decided to become involved with the World War II effort, which she did with zest by her employment with the Federal Government Branches of the U.S. Marine Corps and Quartermaster Depot until her retirement after twenty-two years of devoted service.
After becoming widowed at the age of 44, her life was like the Rock of Ages and she weathered many a storm. She was truly and completely devoted to her family. Her home was a comfort to quite a few in need during these trying times. There was never a hungry soul or heavy heart that "Aggie" or "Tish" didn't console.
Agnes participated in neighborhood events as long as her health permitted, where she was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed, even though she never complained for herself.
Agnes passed away Monday, quickly and quietly, surrounded by her family, whom she never wanted to leave her. She got her wish.
She leaves to cherish precious memories: her devoted daughters, Mrs. Clara Valdera, Mrs. Katherine Thomas, and Miss Constance Newlin, all of Philadelphia; three sons-in-law, Mr. Ralph C. Thomas, Mr. Clyde E. Jacobs, and Mr. Feliciano F. Valdera; one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Syretha Carter of Gouldtown, New Jersey; eight grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Katherine Cuff of Bridgeton, New Jersey and Mrs. Laura Pierce of Monroeville, New Jersey; one brother-in-law, Mr. John Pierce of Monroeville, New Jersey; many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and neighbors.
