Agnes Marie Schenk (Aggie), 92, born in Alton, Illinois and a 55 year resident of Laguna Beach, CA died May 22, 2020 at home due to complications from a stroke. Survivors include her brother George (Jean) Schenk of Godfrey, Il, a niece Ann (George) Mavko of Tucson, AZ, nephew James Schenk of Godfrey, a large extended family, and her Irvine Art Center class, many friends and her beloved dachsie, Katie.
Burial will take place at St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Alton, IL on June 15, 2020 with Covid restrictions. There will be a memorial at a later date in Laguna Beach, CA.
Aggie found family everywhere. She was a strong independent spirit with an outsized personality, a rule breaker, a trail blazer. Her sense of humor and generosity were legendary. She owned Beach & Boulevard in downtown Laguna for 21 years but her lifelong love was art. Her iconic floral & landscape paintings now reside with the family.
Deceased family members are parents Carl J. (Hilda Lauer) Schenk and Aunt Hilda (Punky), her lifelong mother, brother Carl J. (Marie) Schenk, sister Alma (Richard) Hiendlmayr, brother Eugene (Donna) Schenk and John R. Schenk.
Memorials in her honor are: the Laguna College of Art and Design Scholarship Fund. Memo Agnes M. Schenk, 2222 Laguna Canyon Rd., Laguna Beach 92651. ATTN: Tracy Hartman, and Masses
