She is the sister of the Honourable James A. Richardson Jr., who was a Trudeau-era Liberal member of the Canadian Parliament and cabinet minister.
In 1947, she married William Moore Benidickson (1911–1985), who was a Liberal MP and later became a Cabinet minister and Senator.
From her obituary: Agnes lived a life enriched by her family, her travels, her experiences and above all by her service to community and country through a host of organizations which she founded, helped to lead and sustain through her tireless volunteer efforts.
Her life and her example will continue to be celebrated by her children, Jamie, Kris and Kathleen, their partners Melanie Mallet, Shirley Benidickson, and Alex Ramsay, daughter-in-law Victoria Young-Benidickson, granddaughters Nicola Benidickson, Kirsten Benidickson, Martha and Leigh Ramsay, her extended family, and all who were touched by the commitment, insight, grace and generosity which were the hallmarks of her life.
