Agate "Beate" Niethammer Nestvogel of Matthews NC , died 3/15/2021 at the age of 82 years. Beate was born 11/17/1938 in Antonovka, Belarus. Beate enjoyed taking long walks in her neighborhood visiting her neighbors and spending time with her grandchildren in the local parks. She also was fond of rescuing orphan baby squirrels and birds. They would often come back for visits after she released them.
She loved cruising with her husband and friends visiting far off locations like the Caribbean, Tahiti, Hawaii and Brazil. Her biggest passion however was gardening and taking care of her houseplants. Her flower gardens often caused neighbors and passersby to stop on the side of the road and admire. She loved to split plants, find a new location, stomp them into the ground and proclaim "Live or Die", knowing she could always split off more plants.
She now joins her deceased husband, Dieter Karl Nestvogel, in heaven. Beate is survived by her son, Dean Nestvogel of Kannapolis,NC, her daughter, Tanya Nagy of Greer, SC, and two grandchildren, Brennen and Anneka.
We will miss her smile, her feistiness, and her willingness to always help her friends out. Rest in peace Mama "Bea".
