Born in New York, New York August 29, 1939Departed in Melbourne, Florida on September 25, 2019
Agnes Mary Beale, 80, of Melbourne, FL passed away on Wednesday September 25, 2019. She was born in New York City, NY, grew up in Guttenberg, NJ, and, over the course of her life, also lived in Pennsylvania, Maine and Florida.
She spent her career in insurance. After retiring in Maine, she stayed active through Senior College and the Maine Maritime Museum. When in her 40’s, she started taking college courses, eventually earning a BA in history. She traveled the world and was an accomplished photographer. She also enjoyed researching her family history, at one point finding cousins in New Zealand, then traveling there to visit.
Her faith in God was very strong – she loved her church and was always involved there. She made friends for life, always stayed in contact and never forgot a birthday or special occasion.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated for her on Thursday, October 10 at 10:00 in Ascension Catholic Church. The family, at Agnes’ request, gratefully declines flowers and encourages donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
