She was honored as valedictorian of the 1938 Oakesdale High School senior class.
She met her future husband, Ben E. Robinson, at a Grange dance. They married Nov. 17, 1938, in Spokane.
Agnes and Ben farmed in the Garfield-Elberton area until their retirement and moved to Colfax in 1981. They were married 60 years.
Ben died in 1999. Agnes then moved to Endicott for four years and then to Garfield Ladow Court Assisted Living for four years. Since 2008, she has called Considerate Care her "home" and her loving caregivers "family."
Agnes was a member of Ladow Grange and Silver Creek Women's Club.
Agnes loved the Palouse Hills, sunsets and a panoramic view of Steptoe Butte from her living room window. She owned a green thumb and each year canned hundreds of jars of produce. Family meals were always delicious. Pies and cakes were works of art. Being left-handed, she sat in front of a mirror to teach herself crocheting. Many projects were prizewinners at the fair. Her penmanship was beautiful and perfect.
