Agnes was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Maquoketa. She loved her family and was an excellent baker and cook and enjoyed canning and making birthday cakes. She was meticulous about her house.

Those left to honor her memory include her children, John (Twyla) Hinz of Morton, IL, Gil Hinz of Dubuque, IA, Tom (Karen) Hinz of Pontiac, IL, Steve (Alesha) Hinz of Odell, IL, and Diane (Ron) Frandsen of Maquoketa, IA; a sister-in-law, Margie Smith of Bella Vista, AR; 15 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren with 1 on the way; and her special furry dog friend "Boo". She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jack on June 23, 2017, a brother Alfred Smith, sisters Caroline Kampas, Monica Ihrig and Patricia Wallace, and a daughter-in-law Sherry Hinz.

"This is so hard to do. To think Agnes isn?t going to be there any more. We had many times of talks and phone calls. Her stories and the many laughs together. I miss Jack and now Agnes they were good neighbors to me for the three years I lived next-door. The barbecues, the cookies, the homemade buns, and alot of smiles. God Bless you all.
