Agnes Gerda Rosalind Mastin was born May 14, 1919 in Ft. Clark, ND to Carl and Mary ((Lynn) Skager. She was raised and educated in Center, ND. Aggie was united in marriage to John Mastin December 22, 1943 at the Methodist Parsonage in Detroit Lakes, MN. They farmed near Ogema, MN and, in 1964, purchased John and Aggie's Four Corners east of Detroit Lakes on Hwy 34. They sold the farm in 1967 and operated John and Aggie's until John's death in 1984. Aggie sold the business in January, 1985 and moved into Detroit Lakes. Aggie was united in marriage to Gilbert "Gib" Sanden November 19, 1987 in Detroit Lakes. He died in 2002. Aggie was known for her volunteerism, for serving coffee at Park Manor,

active in the Congregational Church, First Lutheran Church Quilters, and the Pride and Joy Homemakers, and of course her homemade donuts. She was always on the go and was well known as a hard worker. She loved time with her children and grandchildren, traveling, and the Minnesota Twins. She was full of spunk, known for wearing high-heeled shoes and dangly earrings. Her spirit and energy were contagious and brought inspiration to all those she met. She will be remembered for her compassion, generosity, humor and liveliness, that not only made us laugh but will forever remind us to make the best of each day.
