Agnes Campbell

6-Jun-1944 - 7-Dec-2024

It is with deep sorrow and much love we mourn the passing of Mom/Grandma/Agnes.

Agnes passed away peacefully on December 7, 2024, at Hillsdale Terraces surrounded by her family.

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Jim Senior, her daughter, Linda, her son Jim (Marcia), grandchildren Amy (Shayne), Dylan (Emmett), and Kate, brother Billy, sisters Jean, Rachel (Alec), and Mary, and beloved dog, Bonnie. Predeceased by her parents, Annie and Johnny, sisters-in-law Marie and Sadie, and brothers-in-law Malcolm, Ed, and Jack. She will be greatly missed by her many nieces, nephews, and friends in Canada and in Scotland.

Agnes cherished the connections and friendships she made all throughout her life.

Agnes was an avid tennis enthusiast. She also enjoyed watching Coronation Street with her daughter Linda and would often seek out the spoilers from the UK so she had the latest scoop. Agnes was a member of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club with her husband Jim. They were a great team and had a lot of fun together, touring around Ontario to play on different bowling greens. She also enjoyed socializing with her girlfriends from the St. Andrew’s Club, going to events with them. Agnes was always looking for new recipes, attending cooking classes, and sharing her passion for cooking with others. She loved to read mysteries and true crime, and kept her law enforcement son Jim up to date on the latest crime news from the GTA.

Agnes was a wonderful person. We have fond memories of her beautiful voice singing with her lovely Scottish accent. Throughout her life, she had a keen eye for style, a great sense of humour, and a sharp mind for money matters. She was a trained typist and learned to make the most of new computer technologies. Agnes worked at TD Bank and later at WeeWatch, where she took care of young children. We loved to share a cup of tea and chat about what life was like in Scotland, history, and current events. Her grounded perspective and wise advice will be sorely missed, and we will always remember her with love and gratitude for the blessing she was in our lives. We will all miss her dearly.

So if you knew and were touched by our Agnes, we thank you for remembering her with us as the lovely, kind person she was.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at Mount Lawn Funeral Home & Cemetery, 21 Garrard Road, in Whitby, ON, at 1:00 pm with a time to remember and celebration of her life to follow in the Arbor Lounge.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her name to Lakeridge Health Foundation, Cancer Unit, would be greatly appreciated.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Mount Lawn Funeral Home & Cemetery.
