Agnes Williams (Blakey)
Agnes Williams, 80, of Springfield, Missouri died on Friday, May 5, 2017. She was born in Chadwick, Missouri on December 7, 1936, a daughter to Everett and Bessie (Nash) Blakey.
Agnes grew up in a large family with her parents and 8 brothers and sisters. She was known to be a feisty lady who was a great cook, an imaginative storyteller, a painter and entertainer. Her creative mind allowed her to act like a child and a loving grandmother, and every age in between, at the same time. She was never bored and wanted those around her to join in on the fun.
Agnes was a very religious woman. She attended several Pentecostal churches in Springfield, and practiced her faith constantly. She loved listening to Elvis, shopping, collecting dolls and BINGO. Agnes was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She filled the hearts and minds of those around her. And she will be missed by many.
