She was born in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland on July 3rd, 1924. She died on Tuesday March 5, 2019 at Hillsdale Terraces, her home for the last seven years. Agnes was in her 95th year. She arrived here from Scotland in April 1948, Agnes and Ian were married for almost 70 years. She was the much loved mother of Eleanor (Chalmers) Meek and son-in-law, Gerald Meek. The last of 6 children, she was predeceased by her brothers and sisters – George, Isabella, May, Frank and Margaret (Peggy) and their spouses. Agnes was the youngest daughter of William McKinlay and Frances (Lyon) McKinlay (deceased). She was the aunt and great aunt of many nieces and nephews in Scotland and the United Sates. Agnes was the step-grandma of Jeffrey (Trina), K. Amanda (Andre), J. Alexandra (Scott) and Gregory (Krista) and great-gran to Shaye, Molly, Elliot, Abigail, Charlotte, Lainey, Ben, Felix and Graham. In Scotland she worked in the millnery department of Olsen’s.

In March of 2012 she joined Ian at Hillsdale Terraces. Agnes adjusted readily and embraced her new home.
