It is with deep sadness that the family of Agnes McLelland announces her sudden passing on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the age of 88 years. She was born on July 28, 1926 in Kinloss Township, Ont., to Joseph and Mary-Anne Conley. After she completed her schooling, Agnes worked as a ticket agent for the CNR in Brampton. She then moved to Lucknow where she accepted a position as a bank clerk with the Bank of Montreal. This is where she met and married Ron. They moved to Loreburn in 1951, where they farmed and raised a family. Agnes was very active in the local community with the United Church Women’s Auxiliary, the Lions Band Committee, 4H Club and Loreburn Curling Club. She was an avid curler and was a member of a local curling team that won three district championships as well as qualifying for the Provincial Curling Championship in 1975. After retiring from the sport, she continued to follow all forms of competitive curling. Agnes loved gardening and baking, often sharing her produce with the community. She was well known for her Halloween popcorn balls, which she shared with children and parent trick-or-treaters. She loved to do needlepoint and crocheting until arthritis slowed her nimble fingers down. Her latest hobby was putting together photo albums for each family member. Agnes worked alongside Ron assisting in farming activities for 60 years before retiring to Saskatoon in 2012. Unfortunately, Ron fell ill and Mom continued to care for him for two-and-a-half years. Agnes was predeceased by her husband Ron, parents Joseph and Mary-Anne Conley, brothers Jim, Ivan, Eugene, Len and sister Rena. She is survived by her son Cameron (Eileen) McLelland, daughter Marlene Strenger, grandchildren Chrysten and Kristyanne (Chun). In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. The family would like to thank the staff and management of Brightwater Senior Living of Stonebridge, where Agnes resided, especially Gladys Kramer. Mom made many new friends and really enjoyed all the activities and, of course, her role as an Ambassador welcoming new residents to the community. At Agnes’ request, a private graveside service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to the Outlook Funeral Chapel 306-867-8255.
