Agnes Ann Walsh passed away at 100 years of age on June 30, 2021. Miss Walsh generously bequeathed $50,000 to Washington Academy to support a scholarship fund for students pursuing post-secondary classics/romance language majors. Additionally, she has provided $200,000 to help support students studying this discipline at the University of Maine, at Orono (UMO), with priority given to Washington Academy graduates. Miss Walsh also provided a sizable gift, allowing UMO to endow a chair in the classics and romance languages department.
