Agnes was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother with family being the focus of her life.

Agnes was picking cotton when the love of her life picked her up, drove her to the church, and married her sitting in the front seat of a 39 Chevy on July 8, 1942.

Agnes was preceded in death by her husband, Charles H. Taylor; and son, Jerry Taylor.

Agnes had a zest for life that showed in her hobbies and interests. She was a fan of horse racing and had a soft spot for the thrill of casinos. Agnes also loved to travel. She spent time at her winter home in Arizona.

Just a month before her passing, Agnes celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by loved ones, a testament to the joy she brought to those around her.
