Agnes Elizabeth Klapatauskas was born on January 11, 1929, in Thorp, WI, the daughter of Michael and Katherine (Jazdouskas) Klapatauskas.  She was raised on the family farm, received her education at Butler School and graduated from Greenwood High School in 1947.  She was united in marriage to Frank C.

Her husband Frank died on March 16, 1998. Aggie continued to live in Willard until moving to Greenwood in 2006.

 

She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church and was very active in the PCCW and was a key organizer of the church’s annual bazaar; and a member of the Willard Social Club. Aggie had many interests, but especially loved to cook; volunteering for just about anything, playing pinochle, bowling, working jigsaw puzzles and driving.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Frank; one son, Randy, in 1952; six sisters: Ann Klapatauskas, Estelle Dulinsky, Frances Vallone, Martha Podobnik, Katherine Gregorich, and Josephine Wind; and two brothers: Charles and Michael Klapatauskas.
