Agnes was married to Kenneth Schulz on September 23, 1944 in Waterloo, Iowa and were the parents to four children Daniel, Richard, Becky, and Mark.
Agnes served as a waitress at the Hickory House Steakhouse from high school until she and her husband Kenneth moved to Colorado in 1960. They owned a restaurant in Stratton, Colorado until her health failed. They relocated to the Denver area in 1969 and Kenneth passed away in 1983. Agnes married Pete Bieker in Las Vegas, NV on September 6, 1993 and moved to Artesia, New Mexico. She enjoyed attending the local senior center and dancing polkas and two-stepping to country music. Agnes was a devout Catholic and enjoyed volunteering at her church. She believed in giving back to the community and was a supporter of the American Legion and the Eagles Lodge. She enjoyed spending time with her closest friends and lived life to the fullest with Earlene Rae Brasel-Rummel, Nanny Martinez, Betty Howel, and Gaga. Her favorite treat was Jayme's apple butter. G.G. loved dressing up for Halloween and celebrating all of the holidays. She would decorate for all of the seasons and her funny sense of humor made her the life of the party. She would always say to her friends "see my arms are too short". G.G. was fearless and at the age of 90 was seen riding on the back of a Harley Davidson Motorcyle down Mainstreet. Agnes took great pride in her garden and couldn't wait to get out annually to plant her flowers. She was an avid Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Rockies fan and would always be cheering them on. Every Thursday you could count on Agnes getting her hair done at Jaynie's Beauty Shop.
Agnes loved cooking for her family, doing her puzzle books, and cherished spending time with her grandchildren -her greatest joy. She and her granddaughter Leslie were very close and shared a very special friendship and were always playing practical jokes on each other. She touched the lives of many and will forever be remembered for the loving care she gave to others. Her laugh, smile, and giving spirit will never be forgotten.
The family would like to thank her caregivers with Enhabit Home Health & Hospice.
Pall Bearers will be David Schulz, John Schulz, Kameron Dudek, Leslie Lieker, Tracy Lieker, Kevin Schamaun, Kyle Schamaun, and Kasen Schamaun.
