Agnes was born October 31, 1921 at Colgan, North Dakota to Carl E. and Laura (Asplund) Monson. She received her early education at Crosby, North Dakota where she graduated from 8th Grade. She worked in Sewing Room in Crosby, Continental Can Company in Chicago, Illinois and then was a hired girl for Henry and Glenda Gardner in Richland, where she met and fell in love with Frank Lasar.
She married Frank on November 11, 1944 at Plentywood, Montana and the couple made their home in Richland, Montana (five miles south of Richland), in a two-room house. They remained there for five years until Frank was able to build their first real home in 1949. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother. She was very religious. The couple raised four children.
Agnes was a member of the Ladies Temperance Society, Nazarene Church, and then Seventh Day Adventist Church.
She was like an angel among us. She taught lots of children about the Lord, both at home and at church. When it came to entertaining children she was amazing perhaps because she was a child at heart. Agnes was a good cook and whenever company came, she always found something for all to eat and enjoy. She sang and played the guitar and piano. She sewed and quilted. She enjoyed cross-word puzzles and other types of word games. She enjoyed discovering her family roots via genealogy. She loved reading and writing letters over everything else and was a pen-pal to many.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Laura; her husband Frank Lasar; son Danny; half-brother Ken Monson; half-sister, Ella Holte, Verna Welsch and Aileen Reckner; brother Clair Monson; and sisters, Irene Armitage, Eleanor Globis, Marie Warwas and Lenora Pettit.
Agnes is survived by her two daughters, a son, brother, sister; thirteen grandchildren, thirty great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
