Agnes Rose Peterson

Agnes Rose Peterson, age 95, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on New Years Day morning at the Hospice house in Pleasant Prairie. Agnes was born in Racine on September 6, 1929, daughter of the late Joseph and Hildegard (nee: Hugel) Fleuchaus.

Agnes was a proud graduate of St. Catherine’s High School “Class of 1947”. On June 18, 1960, she was united in marriage to the love of her life, Robert E. “Bob” Peterson at Holy Name Catholic Church. They shared fifty-seven beautiful years and raised six children together before Bob passed away in 2017. Agnes was employed with SC Johnson for thirteen years, but her most important job was raising her family, where she excelled at cooking, baking and providing a wonderful happy home. She enjoyed singing in the Holy Name choir and was a charter member of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church. She served many years as the chair of the Human Concerns Committee. In her spare time, Agnes enjoyed classical music, reading, tending to the harvest from the garden, vacations in the Northwoods and traveling around the world with her husband Bob. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, whom she adored.
