In 1934, she married Ray Lawrence. They had three children: Robert, Bonney, and Virginia. The couple operated a trucking company and feed store together.  He later died in 1967.  Agnes met Don Douglass and after months of him asking her to go dancing, she finally agreed.  The couple was married in 1971 and described Don as the love of her life.  She had two step-daughters, Susan and Diane. The two also worked together with Agnes driving the lead car while Don drove truck, hauling mobile homes.

She was active in the VFW Women's Auxiliary, the Eagles Club, Symphony Chapter 316 Order of the Eastern Star in O'Neill, and the O'Neill Golden Age Senior Center.
