Agnes Lamb, 92

With her family surrounding her, Agnes Lamb, a longtime Whitefish resident, went to be with the Lord on Jan. 29, 2010. Agnes Christine Aune was born May 21, 1917, 20 miles north of Saco to Andrew and Signe Aune; she attended a one-room school at Corral Coulee near her home. Following school, she worked for neighbors and later moved to Malta, working at the hospital until developing rheumatoid arthritis. She married Manuel Lamb in 1938 and they farmed and operated a dairy on the Milk River north of Saco until 1950. They and their family of four came to Whitefish in 1950 where they farmed, raising dairy cattle; during that time, Manuel also worked for the railroad. Since its beginning, Agnes worked at the food bank in Whitefish, serving there for 27 years. Agnes blessed many people by working as a housekeeper, baby-sitter, Sunday school teacher and caring for many in their final days. Agnes and Manuel were lifelong members of the Assembly of God Church in Whitefish, working endlessly for and in the church. She loved life and enjoyed having fun and will be greatly missed by many. Preceding her in death were her husband, Manuel, in 2001; and son, Clayton, in 2009; as well as sisters, Elsie, Alma, Pauline, Edna and Inga; and brother, Art.
