WAKARUSA [mdash] Agnes M. Brinkerhoff, 92, Wakarusa, passed away peacefully at her home, Saturday evening, Aug. 30, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer. She was born Aug. 10, 1933, in Romulus, New York, to Hugh Morton and Emily B. (Williams) McCheyne Jr. She was married to Louis H. Brinkerhoff for 68 years. Surviving are her husband, Louis, Wakarusa; a son, Jeffrey Carl (Amy) Brinkerhoff, Goshen; four grandchildren, Danielle (Eric) Radde, Mishawaka, Justus (Kara) Brinkerhoff, Wakarusa, Shelby (Spencer) Swihart, New Paris, Cierra Brinkerhoff, Goshen; and four great-grandchildren, Millie Radde, Nolan Brinkerhoff, Halle Kate and Rory Swihart. Preceding her in death are her parents, and three siblings, Stanley McCheyne, Emily Wilson and Jean Simmons. Agnes worked at Dwyer Instruments for 20 years, then later worked at Dollar General for seven years. In her younger years, she enjoyed genealogy and traveling. Agnes was a true patron of the Wakarusa Public Library. Nothing could keep her from her next murder mystery. If she wasn't reading in her living room chair, you could find her busy in the kitchen or laundry room with an audio book playing in the background. Agnes was full of love and knowledge, and her family will never be the same without her. We take great comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her loved ones in the arms of Jesus. In honor of her wishes, there will be no visitation. She will be laid to rest in the West Lodi Cemetery, Lodi, New York, where private services will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be directed to the Wakarusa Public Library, P.O. Box 485, Wakarusa, IN 46573, or The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, 2515 E. Center St., Warsaw, IN 46580.
