Agnes Mary Mead, 91, of Kendallville, Indiana, died Monday, July 18, 2022, at 6:05 p.m. at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. She began her life journey on July 6, 1931, in Swan Township, Noble County, Indiana, at her parent's home. Born to Esta and Beatrice Pearl (Reinoehl) Herron, she was the second of eight children. She spent her younger childhood in LaOtto. As a teenager, she and her family moved to Lisbon. Lisbon is where she lived until she married school friend and neighbor, Donald Lloyd Mead, Sr. on June 19, 1953, in Columbia City. They shared their life together in a little apartment in Kendallville before moving out in the country to a rental home. Then in 1957, they bought a home in Lisbon right beside the home she grew up in and raised four children there. Surviving are two daughters, Pamela (Robert) Kammerer of Kendallville and Cheryl (Dudley) Chester of Kendallville; and two sons, Donald Lloyd (Tammy) Mead, Jr. of Wawaka and Mark Allen (Barb) Mead of Corunna. Agnes spent most of her life staying home and taking care of her family. After the children were in school, she worked at Mack & Ann's Grocery in Kendallville and American Discount in Kendallville for a few years until they closed. Her main job was taking care of her family, as family was the most important thing to her. Agnes and her husband were married over 29 years, until the good Lord took him home on September 2, 1982, in Kendallville. In 2000, she moved to the Lamplighter in Kendallville and resided there until her death. She was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Avilla. Agnes's father passed away in 1972 and her mother in 1993. She was also preceded in death by a sister, Reatha Herron in 1934; brothers, Gerald Herron in 2010, Charles Herron in 2010, and Jim Herron in 2018. Also surviving are grandchildren, Michele Schoup, Jennifer Fike, Brent Chester, Chase Mead, Austin Mead, Rebecca Gonzalez, Michelle Anderson, Jenny Parker, Shannon Wineland, Matt Wineland, and Nathan Wineland; great-grandchildren, Jayden Fike, Emily Mead, Nevaeh Schoup, Lelan Schoup, Ashton Schoup, Jaxon Chester, John Chester, Layla Chester, Daimon Godsey, Rylan Gonzalez, Savannah Gonzalez, Carter Gonzalez, Roxanna Gonzalez, Bryson Mead, Alexander Conrad, Taiylor Hollis, Brock Wineland, Trevor Wineland, Grant Parker, Brady Parker, Alexus Parker, Samantha Lewis, Elizabeth Lewis, Garrett Snow, Serena Wineland, Kaitlynn Wineland, Evan Wineland, MacKenzie Wineland, and Kyle Wineland; great great-grandchildren, Konner Cleveland and Kylor Cleveland; and three sisters, Dora Shepherd of Kendallville, Shirley Monroe of Kendallville, and Sandy (Sam) Weimer of Kendallville. Our mother was a strong person. Losing her soul mate at the age of 50 and fighting the battle of breast cancer, she never gave up and stayed strong. Our hope is that all of us have the strength she had to go through the bumps in life. Our mother was a wonderful daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great great-grandmother. We love her so much and she has left a big void in our lives. We will miss her dearly…until we meet again. We love you, Mom.
