Catherine Ann Aagenes, 50, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on July 16, 2019 at her home in Rochester following a battle with cancer. She had a very strong faith until the very end, and always believed that "God will take the cancer from me, or take me from the cancer".

Catherine Ann Collado was born on March 9, 1969 in Fargo, ND to Daniel and Angele (Jacobs) Collado. She graduated from Alexandria High School in 1987. She then enrolled in North Dakota State University where she met her future husband, Karl Aagenes. She graduated with a degree in textiles and apparel. Later, she obtained her cosmetology license and worked part time as a cosmetologist. They were married on June 2, 1990 in Alexandria, MN. She accompanied Karl in his various military assignments throughout the southwest United States. They ultimately settled in Rochester in 1997. Together they raised three children. Faith, family, knitting, and her pets were extremely important to her.
