AGNES EVELYN ALEXANDER It is with great sadness, the family announces the passing of our mother and grandmother on November 2, 2006 at the St. Boniface General Hospital at the age of 73 years. After a courageous battle with heart disease, she left us quietly and peacefully. Agnes will be lovingly missed by her children, son Rob (Cheryl)(Baby Girl), daughter Angie (Splurbitz) of Vancouver; grandchildren, Stacey of Vancouver, Michael (Leslie) of California; extended family, Ron (Flo) of Regina, Wilfred (Brenda) of Regina, Angie of Winnipeg, Rob and his parents of Winnipeg, Paul (Jodi) of Winnipeg, and, of course, Shelby. Agnes was predeceased by her husband Sandy; mother Anna; and father James. Born January 9, 1933 in Kenora, ON, Agnes spent most of her younger days growing up at the gold mines in Ontario before moving to Winnipeg where she would continue her journey through life until she would finally meet and fall in love with Sandy. Agnes loved life and her family more than anything else in this world. She touched every person she met deeply with her honesty, love and compassion.
