Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Garryowen, rural Bernard. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Friends may call from 2 to 9 p.m. today at Hoffmann-Schneider Funeral Home, 1640 Main St., Dubuque, where there will be a wake service at 4:30 p.m.

Mrs. Meloy taught in small country schools, at Nativity School, Dubuque, and for the Western Dubuque Community School District.

She was born on Aug. 25, 1914, in Bernard, daughter of Daniel and Kathryn (English) Lambe. She married Edmund Meloy on Aug. 18, 1943, at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, South Garryowen; he preceded her in death on Sept. 17, 1992.

She was a member of St. Patrick's Parish, rural Bernard, and its Rosary Society.

She enjoyed her card club, which included playing euchre with her six special friends. She also enjoyed traveling and spending time with her family and friends.

She was a wonderful, caring mother and devoted wife and will be sadly missed by all.

An Agnes Elizabeth Meloy Memorial Fund has been established.

The family wishes to extend a special thank-you to the staff at Stonehill Care Center for the wonderful care extended to our mother while she was there.
