  Agnes A. Barber, 92, of Sheldon passed away February 18, 2018 at home surrounded by her family following a brief illness. Agnes was born in Buffalo on September 14, 1925.  She was the youngest of 5 children. In 1947 she married Edson (Gene) Barber who predeceased her. 

Agnes held many jobs in her life and had many stories to share about growing up during the depression.  She enjoyed gambling, loved animals and was a collector of cow trinkets.  Agnes was a fighter, having beaten cancer twice in her life and having dealt with the brutal murder of her beloved son Alan.  Agnes' greatest joys were her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. 

She is survived by her children; Russell (Donna) Barber, Kenneth (Deborah) Barber, Lucinda (Russell) Jones and Nancy (Michael) Zientek, along with 11 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.  She will be greatly missed, but her legacy and her love will live on.
