  • Notes 
    • ALIAS: Nancy /Morrice/

      Agnes was a good friend of Laura and John Irving. She moved in with Laura when John went to war (WW II, in Europe). Agnes never moved out and became a second Mother to the Irving children.

      She worked for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for 44 years. When she joined the telephone department there there was already someone with the first name of Agnes so they called her Nancy, due to her middle initial being "N".
