      OBITUARY

      Agnes McClung Coiner Messimer 98, a resident of Summit Square Retirement Home in Waynesboro, passed away on December 7, 2015. She was born on November 23, 1917 near Brownsburg, VA, the only daughter of Margaret Lambert and Finley Wallace McClung.

      When she was three years old, her family moved to Waynesboro where she lived the remainder of her life. After graduating from Waynesboro High School, she attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton for 2 years.

      Agnes married C. Benton Coiner in 1936 who predeceased her in 1963. She was later married to Ward Downing Messimer for 38 years until his death in 2002.

      Agnes was a member of St. John?s Episcopal Church in Waynesboro where she was on the Alter Guild for many years. She also volunteered at Waynesboro Community Hospital as a ?Pink Lady,? was a founding member of the Rosecliff Garden Club, and a former member of the Tuesday Club in Augusta County.

      She is survived by: her daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Ray Burkart of McGaheysville, VA; son and daughter-in-law, Mac and Judy Coiner of Mechanicsville, VA; grandsons Charles Patton and wife Cheryl of Wilmington, NC; Michael Patton and wife, Cindy of Arlington, VA; Lance Coiner and wife Yoshimi and Travis Coiner of Maui, HI. Also surviving are four great-grand children: Tyler, Brittany, Ryan and Marc Patton and step-children, Steve, Linda, Tom, Nancy, Mary and many step-grandchildren and step-great grandchildren.

      At one time, Agnes knew just about everyone in Waynesboro. She will always be known for her kindness, compassion, and gracious manner. Agnes loved being a mom, grandmother (Nanny), and great-grandmother. Agnes had a deep faith in God and set the example for a Southern lady. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

      The family would like to thank the staff at Summit Square and Legacy Hospice for the loving care she received. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM on Monday, December 14, at St. John?s Episcopal Church, 473 S. Wayne Ave. in Waynesboro, Va.

      In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Friendship Committee at Summit Square, 501 Oak Ave, Waynesboro, VA, 22980, or the charity of one?s choice.
