Agnes Marie, daughter of William and Kathleen (Kunkel) Becker, was born on July 14, 1950. Agnes grew up in the Algona area and graduated from Bishop Garrigan High School in 1968.

On November 28, 1970, Agnes was united in marriage to Jerry Frank in St. Benedict. They made their home outside of Wesley on the Frank Family farm, where they raised their 5 children. Later, they made their home in Algona, in the house of Agnes’s parents. Agnes was a farm wife for many years. Once the kids were older, she also worked at Care Center in Titonka, Lynns Farm in Britt, and at Universal Manufacturing in Algona.

First and foremost, Agnes loved being a Mom and Grandma and was always thrilled to spend time with her kids, talk to them on the phone, and use Zoom to see all her kids at once!

Agnes was an active person and hosted many coffees over the years, and especially loved being a gathering house! She spent many hours gardening, sewing, quilting, and putting together puzzles.

She spent the majority of her time with her siblings and loved to bake, cook, and can - which grew her collection of recipes and cookbooks! Agnes also enjoyed watching the Hallmark Channel, HGTV, and Monk on TV.

Agnes is survived by her children Jeri Kay Frank (Uriel Barillas) of Cedar Rapids, Tracy (Kevin) Burge of Platte City, Missouri, Tonya Frank (Johnathan Lemons) of Kansas City, Missouri, and Trent Frank of Arizona; grandchildren Hunter Burge and Haley Burge; five sisters; two brothers; and many other family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, William & Kathleen Becker; husband Jerry; son Shane; brother-in-law Jim Simpson; and nephews Jesse Vincent and Cory Lane.
