 Celebration of Life will be held 2 p.m. Monday, November 14, 2022, at Grace Bible Church in Silver Lake with interment in the church cemetery. Gathering of family and friends will be held one hour prior to the service at the church. Clergy officiating will be Dr. Tom C. Rakow. Honorary urn bearers include: Nathan Anderson, Tanner Anderson, Jake Oie, Haley Oie, Zach Twedt, and Luke Twedt.
 Agnes was born in Watson on December 9, 1928. She was the daughter of Norwegian immigrants, Olaf and Anna Henstein. The sharing of her heritage was a source of joy among friends and family. Her experiences developed a combination of steadfastness and hospitality that permeated the wisdom and love she demonstrated to those she encountered.
 Agnes met her husband of 72 years, Arnold Oie, at the café where she worked in Montevideo. Her endearing personality was evident when she was hired by the telephone company and while she worked in a variety of other industries. Following several moves, she and her lifelong sweetheart turned their attention to raising their five children; eventually owning and operating Granite Furniture Store in Granite Falls for 40 years.
 Spending time with family was her favorite pastime; whether at their lake cabin, enjoying sunsets around a bonfire, at home playing cards and board games, making lefse, experiencing new adventures through traveling, listening to birds while watching other wildlife on her deck, or gathering wood to burn.
 Rarely seen with idle hands, she was always busy creating gifts through knitting, sewing, or producing something of usefulness and beauty.
 In later years, Aggie was laser focused on being warm and keeping those around her warm. She would most often be found near the flicker of her cozy fireplace, savoring a sweet treat while making hundreds of treasured quilts. When she wasn’t counting numbers for her crafts, she was counting her blessings and reminding those around her to do the same.
 Her ready smile, welcoming hugs, hearty laughter, and esteemed perspective are irreplaceable. Anchored in faith, her strength, courage, and feisty positive outlook endure in the memories of those whose lives she has impacted.
 She is survived by her brother John Henstein (Kathy), four children: Michael (Teresa), Rebecca Anderson (Peter), Matthew (Michelle), and Nathan (Heather); six grandchildren: Lucas Twedt (Nycole), Nathan Anderson (Amanda), Zachary Twedt (Melissa), Jacob Oie (Korine), Haley Oie, Tanner Anderson; four great-grandchildren: Everett Twedt, Taylor Anderson, Violet Twedt, and Bennett Anderson, along with many nieces and nephews.
 She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Arnie; her siblings: Haakon Henstein, Harold Henstein, Jorgine Nelson, Paul Henstein, Helen Coffey; daughter Julie Oie Twedt; and her granddaughters: Rachel Twedt and Kelsey Oie.
