Agnes Gervase

Agnes A. Gervase passed away peacefully at her home in Manteca, surrounded by her family on August 15, 2019 at the age of 91.  Agnes was born November 9, 1927 to Antone and Theresa Azevedo in Big Springs, California.  She has been a resident of Manteca for over 65 years. 

Agnes worked most of her life as a poultry and almond farmer with her husband, Gasper, and later her son, Steve and daughter in law, Frances.  She spent many happy years travelling throughout the United States with Gasper in their RV as well as overseas.  After Gasper passed, she continued to travel with her brothers and sisters.  Agnes also enjoyed playing golf with family and was lucky enough to sink a “hole-in-one”.  In her later years, she enjoyed the loving companionship of her dog, Chico.  Agnes’ favorite thing to do was to spend time with her family; especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who she always welcomed with a beautiful smile and open loving arms

Agnes leaves behind her children, Steve Gervase (Frances), Janet Oreb (Edward), and Barbara Gervase (George), her grandchildren, Matthew Gervase (Ruth), Joshua Gervase (Maria), Caleb Gervase (Tara), Andrew Oreb (Courtney), Aaron Oreb, Sarah Oreb, Rylan Gervase, Gina Gervase and Gabriella Hyland, along with 12 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
