On Saturday, December 28, 2019, Agnes Leonissa (Schuetz) Finger, passed away surrounded by family. She was 88 years old.

Agnes was born on June 2, 1931 in rural Brown County, Kansas, the third of six children of Clarence and Helene (Gold) Schuetz. She grew up on the family farm near Mercier, Kansas, and graduated from Powhattan High School in 1949.

On October 15, 1951 Agnes married Edward M. Finger, Powhattan. “Eddie and Aggie” then began their farming lives together on the Finger Farm southwest of Powhattan that had been originally established by Eddie’s father, Christian Finger. From this marriage were born six children: Wayne Finger (Vickie), Fayne Finger (Vicki), Dale Finger, Brenda Weih (Justin), Terry Finger (Patricia), and Janice Schroeder (Tim). Agnes also leaves behind her husband Eddie, along with 13 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren. Also surviving are a sister Mary Adcock, and brother Carl Schuetz.

She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings: Ivan Schuetz, Lucille (Schuetz) Magers, and Jeanne (Schuetz) Boger.

Agnes was a wonderful woman, learning early on how to handle six kids while at the same time managing life as a farm wife. She always made sure exceptional meals were prepared for her family and farmhands. She would faithfully deliver lunches to the fields for the workers when the need arose. Agnes relished having fun with friends by joining in on Halloween pranks, social events, and shivarees! Later in life she enjoyed traveling with Eddie, particularly on their Alaskan adventure, their 50th Anniversary trip to Hawaii, and her final vacation with Eddie and all of their children to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Agnes suffered many years from a very rare debilitating disease, granulomatous angiitis, which eventually resulted in her admittance into the Apostolic Christian Home in Sabetha where she spent her last years under their compassionate care and every day visits from Eddie.
