AGATHA WOOD (nee RATZLAFF) 1935 - 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Agatha on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 75 years. Remaining to forever cherish Agatha's memory is her son Craig (Carolyn); three grandchildren, Lindsay, Caitlin and Matthew. She is predeceased by her parents and her husband Melvin of 46 years of marriage. Agatha was born and raised in Saskatchewan and was the youngest of nine children. She moved to Winnipeg where she started working at Queen's Printer and later met her husband Melvin. She always had a tremendous amount of love for animals and until recently worked part time for Drake Medox. Agatha was very kind hearted, always remained active, and enjoyed spending time with her friends over coffee. On Monday, December 13, 2010 a private family service for Agatha will be held in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Avenue at Sharp Boulevard. The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of the Doctors and Nurses at the Cancer Care Unit in the Health Sciences Centre who took great care of Agatha and helped to make her as comfortable as possible in her final days. In lieu of flowers, donations in Agatha's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2B7.
