Agnes Warner, 97, Minot and life-long resident of Ward County, died Sunday, February 27, 2011, in a Ryder, ND adult care home.

Agnes was born August 21, 1913, one of nine children of Torger and Anna (Bently) Rovig. She was raised and worked on the family farm until being united in marriage to Harvey Warner on November 15, 1933.

They made their home on the Warner family farm located in Burt Township of Ward County, near Burlington. Together, they farmed and raised a family, retiring in 1974. Harvey passed away August 10, 1984.

Agnes remained on the farm until moving to Minot in 1994. Agnes enjoyed raising a big garden and sharing it with family and friends.
