She was always trying to adopt more! Agnes grew up in Grand Coteau, New Orleans, Metairie, and Lafayette before her marriage to Bob. His enlistment in the Air Force took them to many stations in the United States as well as the Panama Canal Zone before settling in Metairie in 1970. She is preceded in death by her parents Charles Agricole Olivier and Agnes Moss Olivier and two brothers, George and Marion. Agnes gave time and energy over and above the call of duty. She helped with CCD, worked with an adult literacy program, donated blood, volunteered at Memorial Medical and Mercy Baptist Medical Center, and helped do income taxes for the elderly and low-income people. Aggie was very involved with her family and church of St Catherine of Siena in Metairie. She and her husband Bob were the Respect Life couple of St. Catherine’s Knights of Columbus Council and were also on St. Catherine’s Respect Life Committee. Agnes sold World Book Encyclopedias and Avon. She also worked for Jefferson Parish in Personnel, the Water Department, and the Manpower Program. She enjoyed babysitting grandchildren and bragging about them. She especially enjoyed sharing 61 years of marriage with, as she put it, “my boyfriend,” referring to Bob!
