Agnes Amelia Ullyot

Agnes Kampen Ullyot Agnes Kampen Ullyot died peacefully at Presbyterian Homes of Roseville on March 29, 2008. Born in Summit, South Dakota, on May 2, 1907, she lived a full life for over a century, nearly reaching the age of 101. Agnes was the third born of seven children, to Engebret and Anna Kampen, who emigrated from Norway in the 1890's and settled in Summit, a town of less than 500 people. Engebret worked for the Milwaukee Road, and as a member of the crew helped to build the railroad at a critical time in America's history. As with her siblings, Agnes benefited from her parents' strong emphasis on their children getting a higher education. She was valedictorian of her high school class in 1925, and went on to graduate from South Dakota State College, majoring in General Sciences, in 1929. While there she met Lloyd Ullyot from Clark, S.D., whom she married on June 15th of 1930. The marriage lasted for 68 years, until Lloyd's death in 1998, at age 93. She is survived by her sons Dan, of Hillsborough, California, a retired heart surgeon, and Jim, an entrepreneur and instructor in business in Minneapolis, and their families and the families of numerous nieces and nephews throughout the country. Agnes will be remembered for her love and devotion to family and friends; for her enjoyment of life; for her attention to manners, grammar and appearance; for her loyalty to her roots in South Dakota; for her love of golf; and for the life she and Lloyd made together, both from their humble beginnings, through the tough times of the depression in their first married days in St Paul. Their determination, faith and strength forged success over the years -- in family, friendships, career and life -- that ultimately led to the fulfillment of many dreams, among them the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world in service to their country in their retirement years. Agnes made friends wherever she went, and will be missed by all. A memorial service will be held at the chapel of Holcomb-Henry-Boom Funeral Home in Shoreview at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 12, 2008, 515 Hwy 96 West at Mackubin. There will be a gathering of family and friends beginning at 11:00 AM. Interment Roselawn Cemetery. The family requests memorials, if desired, to the St. Anthony Park Methodist Church, 2200 Hillside Ave, St Paul, MN 55108, or the Summit High School Scholarship. Fund, Summit, S.D. 57266.
