Agatha was born August 2, 1919 in Darnen Township in Stevens County to Charles and Charlotte (Lawler) Moriarity.  She was baptized and confirmed at Assumption Church in Morris.  Agatha attended Rural School District 47.  She married Hugh Hufford on September 27, 1942.  Together they farmed south of Morris for several years, until his death in 1965.  She then held several interesting jobs including working at a bakery, Bon Jos and the nutrition center.  Agatha later married Charles DeBuhr on January 9, 1982.  They continued living in Morris for some time, then eventually moved to Alexandria in 1996.  Charles passed away on August 4, 1998.  She most recently lived at Bethel Manor.  Many people will miss seeing her walking around downtown and through the halls at Bethany.

“May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”
