She later worked for Tenold Olson Hagen Inc in Northwood as a secretary and retired in 1999 after working with them for 33 years. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She treated everyone the same and always made sure she was presentable, never leaving the house without her lipstick. Everyone knew her as Grandma Aggie. She loved to sew; always making sure the grandchildren had something she made with her own hands. Aggie would always make time to be involved in her grandchildren’s events. Whether it was a football game, soccer, or prom; you name it, and she would be there.
