She leaves behind wonderful friends and neighbors and was always viewed by many of her daughters' friends, as their 'Other Mom.' Agnes was a prominent businesswoman in Morehead. After the death of her husband, Jimmy Williams, she assumed the position of President of Williams-Nickell Oil Company, a wholesale jobber of Shell products serving Rowan, Bath, Menifee, Morgan, Elliott, Fleming and Carter counties in Kentucky. The family owned business was founded in 1932 by Edward B. Williams and James Leslie Nickell, the father and grandfather of her husband. With no prior experience of running a business, Agnes combined her ability to learn, and with the help of the employees, she ran a successful company for seventeen years, until 1986 when the oil company was sold. Prior to managing the family business, Agnes was an active member of the Morehead First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) serving as a Deacon. Having three daughters she became involved with the Girl Scout in 1956 and was the District Chairman for the Girl Scout Council for 13 years. She served on the Board of Directors for the Wilderness Road Girl Scout Council. She was on the Board of Directors for the Rowan County United Way and was active in their fund-raising efforts. Agnes also served on the Zoning and Adjustment Board for the City of Morehead. As head of the garden department, she started the project of beautifying our old County Courthouse grounds and spent time and energy in securing help for the work that has been done. She was a Director of the People's Bank of Morehead, worked with the Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Morehead Woman's Club, President of the League of Women Voters, and was always there to help her neighbors and newcomers to the Morehead area. Her husband Jim was a member of the Morehead Fire Department and Agnes worked with the Ladies Auxiliary serving the firefighters meals at her home and taking them refreshments when they were fighting a large fire. Agnes received the 'Woman of the Year Award' sponsored by the Morehead Lions Club in 1967 for her work with the Girl Scouts. She was honored with being 'Mayor for the Day' under the leadership of Larry Breeze in the 1990's.
