Remembering Mrs. Agnes Jesudas Mesipam
Born on July 15, 1930, in Dondapadu, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, Mrs. Agnes Jesudas Mesipam was the daughter of Mrs. Bangaramma and Mr. Pothaiah Rayavarapu. She completed her early education at Dondapadu, Flaiz Memorial High School, and Lowry Memorial High School, later pursuing teacher training in Machilipatnam.
In 1953, she married Mr. M.B. Jesudas, and together they were blessed with four children: Mohanraj, Thyagaraj, Babji, and Sunitha.
Mrs. Agnes Jesudas Mesipam joined Giffard Memorial Hospital as a nurse in 1959, dedicating nearly two decades of her life to serving patients with unwavering compassion and professionalism. She worked across all hospital departments, earning the respect and love of both her colleagues and patients. Known for her graciousness and warm hospitality, her home was always open to relatives, and friends.
Tragically, she passed away in 1978 after a brief illness. Her vibrant spirit, dedication to her work, and love for her community remain a legacy.
