Agnes "Aggie" Ackerman

Agnes "Aggie" (Molloy) Ackerman of Berlin, was ushered into God's kingdom at home, surrounded by family and friends on May 14th 2015. Beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Aggie was born in Liverpool, England, on April 4th 1933, to Richard Valentine and Margaret (Flaherty) Molloy. She was the "baby" of her devoted husband William Ackerman with whom she would have celebrated 54 years of marriage in October. She was the youngest of five children; her surviving siblings are sister, Frances Banavige, of Manchester and brother, Richard Molloy, and his wife, Margaret, of Bolton. Aggie is predeceased by her sister, Nora Davies, formerly of Windsor, CT and her brother, William, who died at age four in England. A child of WWII, Aggie immigrated to the US at age 25 in 1958 and was a dual citizen for 18 years. She married William H. Ackerman in 1961 and was the doting mother of daughter, Arlene (Ackerman) Burek, of Berlin and son, William H. Ackerman II, of New Britain. Beginning in 1970, Aggie used her gift as a wonderful cook to serve the school children of Berlin and later served as a cook manager for the Berlin Board of Education for over 30 years. Aggie delighted in her role as grandmother to Katherine and Michael, Arlene and her husband Raymond's two children. A world traveler, Aggie enjoyed international travel and cruises to Europe, Australia, China and Panama with her husband and looked forward to times spent with family at their beach home in Westbrook. She enjoyed shopping, dancing, decorating her lovely home and collecting antiques. Aggie loved the Lord and cherished her fellow prayer team members at her weekly meetings at Bethany Covenant Church. A wonderful cook and true Brit, guests in her home were always graciously offered a cup of tea and one of her amazing scones. Memorial services in her honor will be held on Saturday, June 13th at 3pm at Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill Street, Berlin, CT. Guests are encouraged to bring photos and memories to share. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Bethany Covenant Church or you may honor Aggie's legacy of feeding others by donating to Strangers Helping Strangers (shstrangers.com). Our wonderful wife and mom will be missed and we give God the Glory for Aggie's life and beautiful heart.
