The citation is the 1985 obituary of Joseph J. Konecny, not of Agnes Masar, and no text or image is available. Nothing contradicts a 1978 death, but nothing here shows it either; at best the obituary might list Agnes as a predeceased sibling. The claim needs a source such as her own obituary, a death record, or a gravestone.
Matches: Obituary of Joseph J. Konecny in a Manitowoc newspaper could plausibly list a sister, Agnes Masar, among survivors or predeceased relatives
Limits: No image or transcription text is provided, so the obituary content cannot be checked for Agnes Masar; The obituary is dated 1985 and is about a different person (Joseph J. Konecny); at most it could mention Agnes as predeceased, and would not give a death date or year; No evidence in the supplied text states that Agnes died in 1978; Relationship between Joseph J. Konecny and Agnes Masar is not stated in the citation
