Agnes "Aggie" Metcalf was born on October 7, 1930 in Cardiff, Wales and was the youngest daughter of Albert and Mary Ellen Perrins.  She was educated at Cathays High School for Girls in Cardiff, Wales; Miller School of Business in Cincinnati, Ohio and she received her Associates degree from Allan Hancock College.

Aggie came to the United States with her war-widowed sister and niece in 1950 and resided in Cincinnati, Ohio for five years before moving to California for health reasons. Before leaving for America, Agnes worked with the National Blood Transfusion Service in Wales where she worked as a donor attendant.  When she arrived in America, she trained and worked as a laboratory technician at St. Mary's Hospital in Cincinnati.  She later transferred to a business college and studied business.  On her arrival in Los Angeles, she was employed as a legal secretary in a Beverly Hills law firm which had offices in New York and Paris.

Agnes met and married Bill Metcalf, her husband of 55 plus years.  After a few years of living in different parts of the country, they settled in Lompoc in 1963.  Agnes worked as a hospice volunteer for 13 years and was passionate about the time she spent with the terminally ill patients.

Aggie is survived by her husband William and her only son Michael (Tracey) and several nieces and nephews. The youngest of seven children, she was preceded in death by three brothers and three sisters.

A funeral mass will be celebrated at 9:30 am on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at La Purisima Catholic Church.  Private burial will be held later at the Lompoc Evergreen Cemetery.
