Agnes, the daughter of St. Olga of Alaska, has reposed in the Lord.
The OCA Diocese of Sitka and Alaska reports:
It is with profound sadness but with the hope of the Resurrection that the Handmaiden of God Agnes (Ashapak) has fallen asleep in the Lord. Agnes, as many affectionately know, was the daughter of the saintly Blessed Matushka Olga of Alaska. She helped capture Saint Olga’s life and was a faithful daughter of the people of Kwethluk and of the Church in Alaska.
May her memory be eternal and her soul dwell with the blessed!
A panikhida for the repose of her soul was served at All Saints Chapel at St. Herman Theological Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska, yesterday.
