Agnes's obituary
May 6, 1955 - October 3, 2021
Born in Jacksonville in 1955, the loving daughter to Dorcas B Drake and Kenneth Ivan Drake, and younger sister to Charles Foster, she lived this life on her own terms.
Known to everyone as “Jo”, she was a wife, a mother, an artist, a writer, an avid student of the martial arts,, a lucid idealist, and a rampant futur- ist, who spent a lifetime focused on helping others.
Her work helping children began when she was jus a child herself, in support of her mother’s charity, “The Dorcas Drake Christmas Party”, and continued until well after her mother’s passing, as she carried on the effort in her name. She met everyone with acceptance, understanding, and generosity, despite their back- ground, and was known to regularly put other’s needs above her own well-being.
She is survived by her husband Robert Wall, her brother Charles Foster,. her children, Jonathan Russell, Justin Hart, Angela Olson, and Kenneth Persico, and by her nine grandchildren.
A memorial service was held at Evergreen Cemetary in Jacksonville, FL on October 23rd 2021.
