Agnes Wells

Agnes Kurtz Wells, 94, passed away on April 16, 2019.

She was the youngest of 10 children, born to Joseph and Theresa Kurtz of East St. Louis, Illinois, on July 27, 1924.  She was predeceased by both her parents, all of her siblings, her husband James W. Wells, and her granddaughter, Rachel Mary Rutledge.  She is survived by her 6 children – Peggy Wells, Kathy (Joel) Rutledge, Janie (Kris) Kane, Mark (Vicky) Wells, Scott Wells, and John (Christy) Wells; she is also survived by her grandchildren Andrew Wells, Sara Wells, Dan Rutledge, Connor Kane, and Kathryn Kane and several nephews.

“In the midst of great loss, there are things that remain.  Experiences, adventures, wonderful memories, lessons learned, gifts given, tender and joyful times, affirmations.”  How blessed we are to have had such an amazing mother, grandmother, role model, champion.

At her request, a private graveside service will be held. The family wishes to express appreciation to the caregivers and administrators of House of Three (especially Kelly and Tameka), where Agnes lived the last 12 months of her life, and who provided her with excellent care.  We would also like to thank Kindred Hospice, who also helped care for Agnes for the last 3 months.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Humane Society of Pulaski County, 14600 Colonel Glenn Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72210 or https://warmhearts.org/donate/.
