Agnes Schmoe passed away quietly May 16, 2011, at home in Issaquah.
Agnes Schmoe
She was born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1919, to Stan and Ella (Ruckle) Harris. She enjoyed summers spent with cousins on their Salt Spring Island farm and swimming in the ocean. She was a graduate of Queen Anne High School in Seattle and St. Mary’s School of Nursing in Minnesota.
She married Kenneth Schmoe, a fellow Quaker, in 1944, and they moved to New York, where they both worked at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and where their first child was born. They returned to live and work in Seattle until moving into a log cabin by a stream on Tiger Mountain in 1949. With the help of friends and family, the cabin was expanded and converted to accommodate their growing family, and Agnes labored to create a garden and orchard on the rocky hillside.
She was a member and officer of the Issaquah Garden Club for more than 60 years and she loved flower arranging. She became a beekeeper, initially to help pollinate her fruit trees. She joined the Puget Sound Beekeeper’s Association, gave presentations to school groups, removed bee and wasp nests from people’s homes, tended her bees and shared honey until the end.
