Aggie was a very active 98 year old.  Spending a great deal of time at the Millbury Senior Center as a volunteer, playing cards, bingo and any activity that was available. Winning awards for her dedication to helping others.  In her earlier years, she worked at the Millbury Credit Union, retiring several times, but found she missed the interaction with customers.  She also worked at the old "Flying Saucer" Car hop back in the 1960's and the A & P Market.  Aggie was truly a people person.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff at Care One in Millbury and the VNA of Worcester.  Also the hospice Compassionate Care, for all their love and support during this most difficult time.
