Our dear sweet mother Agnes left this world early morning of Tuesday, April 28, 2020. Mom was born in the small town of St. Thomas, Missouri, raised on a farm and grew up in a large loving family. She moved to St. Louis, married Louis Benne and there raised their seven children in St. Charles. She was a loving wife and mother. She was a wonderful homemaker and lived her life as a devout Catholic. Her treasures in life were her family and grandchildren.
