Agnes Bird

Agnes Bird, age 94 of West Bend, passed away on April 19, 2024, at Ivy Manor in West Bend.
Agnes was born on July 2, 1929, in Campbellsport to the late Elmer and Evaline (nee Schmidt) Nigh. She attended Holy Trinity School; and was later united in marriage with Virgil Bird on September 8, 1948, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Kewaskum. Together they raised four sons in West Bend. Aggie worked at The West Bend Company for 37 years, and loved to knit, crochet, and win at cards whenever she had the chance. She was an avid Brewers fan and was always thrilled when they were number one in the standings, no matter how early in the season!
