Agnes Helen Baumann Healy went to be with the Lord at the Walworth County Care Center in Selby, SD, on Saturday, August 6, 2022.
Agnes was born on June 21, 1928 in Herreid, SD, to Katie Biffert. At the age of 2 the family moved to a farm east of Wakpala. This is where she developed her love of animals. One of her favorite past times included riding her horse, Tom. She attended school in Wakpala, she told how when she first started school the teacher spoke English, she spoke German and the Native American children spoke Lakota, needless to say the first year of school was a challenge. After school she moved to Aberdeen and was working in a hotel that is where she met Herbert Baumann. He was working for the railroad at the time. They married on June 23, 1948 in Aberdeen. They traveled around North and South Dakota. Herb worked seasonal road construction. They moved to Wakpala where six children were born to this union.
Agnes came to know the Lord as her Lord and Savior while attending church at the Carmel Indian Mission. She taught Sunday school, helped with Vacation Bible School and wherever needed. She loved to sing. She also helped at the Wakpala School as a substitute cook. Her life changed in 1974 when Herbert passed away. For the next 3 years she concentrated on raising and caring for her family. As her youngest child graduated from high school she went to work full time at the Mobridge Regional Hospital in the housekeeping department retiring from there in June of 1993. That same year on August 20 she married James Healy and joined him in Ministry working for American Indian Crusades. She loved working by Jim’s side as they traveled sharing the love of Jesus. When Jim’s health began to fail, they retired to Mobridge to be near her children. Jim passed away on July 27, 2010. Agnes continued to live in Mobridge sharing her love of Jesus with everyone she talked to. Her favorite book was the Bible and she did not hesitate to pray for you or have a kind word. She not only loved and cared for animals she loved people and most of all she loved her family.
She entered the Mobridge Care Center on January 27, 2017 and remained there until its closing, then was transferred to the Walworth County Care Center.
She is processed in death by her husband, Herbert in 1974 and Jim in 2010, son-in-law, Joe Sam, mother, grandparents, and several uncles and aunts, and her very special cousin, Esther Zimoski.
