Agnes Helen Huneger was born September 17, 1924, to John and Elizabeth (Senger) Huneger in Aberdeen, SD. This is the area where she was raised and attended Aberdeen parochial schools before graduating from Aberdeen Central High School.

Agnes was united in marriage to Peter Villano in November of 1946 in Aberdeen. The couple moved to New Jersey in the late 1940s, where Agnes was employed as a bookkeeper. She and Peter raised two children, Kenneth and Mary Ann, and shared 30 years of marriage before he passed away in 1975. In 1976, Agnes moved back to Aberdeen and resided there until 2001 until she moved to Hot Springs, SD, to be near her daughter. In June of 2015, both she and her daughter moved back to Aberdeen where she continued to reside until the time of her death.

Agnes enjoyed having coffee with her friends and also took great pride in keeping a tidy house.
