William
Father, professor, debater, nature lover — written by his son
Good afternoon everyone.
Thank you all for being here today to celebrate the life of my father, William. Standing here, I find myself reflecting on a man who was truly one of a kind — someone whose kindness, intellect, and warmth touched all of us in ways that still resonate deeply.
William was, without a doubt, a man who loved to talk. Those who knew him best would tell you he was outgoing, sociable, and could hold a conversation for hours — especially if it involved politics, history, or education. I remember sitting with him, captivated, as he shared his favourite stories, weaving in wit and wisdom with a smooth, cheerful voice that made every word feel like a gift. He was long-winded for sure, but you never minded because you knew you were hearing something special.
His keen intellect and philosophical mind made him a natural debater. He was opinionated, yes, but always considerate and sincere. He didn't just want to win an argument; he wanted to understand and be understood. That thoughtful approach carried over into everything he did — whether at work as a business professor at the University of Alberta, where his students respected him deeply, or at home where he was the biggest fan of his children, always patient, firm, and kind in his guidance.
William took great pride in his accomplishments, his knowledge, and the home he created — a warm, welcoming place filled with the comforting scents of home-cooked meals and the crackling of a fire. I think many of you will remember his favourite hat and his wedding ring, worn with pride as symbols of the life he built with my mother, Betty.
Family was everything to William. He valued integrity and quality in all relationships — though I have to smile when I think of the large rototiller he once bought for a garden he never had — a sign of his hopeful vision for a future where family and friends could gather, sharing laughter and stories just like we are today.
As his son, I learned resilience, curiosity, and yes, a bit of stubbornness from William. But more than anything, I learned how to live with purpose and integrity, how to be kind and generous, and how to embrace life fully — even when it's challenging.
Thank you, Dad, for everything. We are better people for having known you. Rest in peace.
Agnes
Homemaker, farmer's wife, grandmother — written by her family
Good afternoon, everyone.
Today, we gather to remember and celebrate the life of Agnes — a woman whose quiet strength and kind heart touched each of us in ways both big and small. Agnes was born on June 2, 1928, in Greenfields, Michigan, and lived a life marked by steadfast love, deep commitment, and a gentle grace that was always present, even in the simplest moments.
Agnes was a woman of quiet patience and kindness. She had a way of making those around her feel at ease, quietly offering help without fanfare and always ready with a warm smile and a listening ear. If you ever needed advice or wisdom, Agnes was the person you called. Whether it was cooking tips or parenting guidance, she shared her knowledge with a soft, steady voice that reassured and comforted.
Family was the center of Agnes's world. She took immense pride in the life she and Ken built together — the farm, their home, and the community they were part of. Though Ken and two of her sons have passed on, Agnes's love for her remaining children was unwavering. She delighted in their successes and held deep gratitude for the family that surrounded her. She showed her love in quiet ways: baking homemade treats, keeping butterscotch candies in her pocket to share with anyone who stopped by, knitting blankets in each grandchild's favourite color, and organizing celebrations to make everyone feel special.
Agnes's days often began early with the sunrise, preparing breakfast and tending to chores with a sense of duty and pride. Her home was always spotless, neat, and filled with the decadent smells of the kitchen — especially when she was baking, one of her true joys. Though the cooking sometimes felt like a chore, especially since Ken wasn't a fan of spices, Agnes's love for baking and creating homemade squares and treats never waned. And if you ever walked past her dining room, you might find her quietly peeking through the drapes, watching the neighbourhood's comings and goings — curious and engaged in the world around her.
Agnes had a special place in her heart for babies — whether it was the baby farm animals like chicks and piglets or the laughter of children and grandchildren playing nearby. There was a light that would come to her face at the sight of a baby, a warmth that spoke to her deep love and tenderness. She also treasured old stories, often reflecting on cherished memories with a sense of nostalgia and gratitude.
Community gatherings and dances brought Agnes joy, too. Even in her later years, when she could no longer dance herself, she loved watching others move to the music, especially Elvis. She was always well-groomed and presented herself with quiet dignity — proud, practical, and sensible in all things. Her life was marked by a steady commitment to routine, responsibility, and caring for those around her.
Travel was another joy for Agnes, especially the family trips to Hawaii each winter. She loved the tropical fruits, the beach, and watching the kids perform hula shows. These moments of relaxation and exploration were precious to her, a break from the daily rhythms of farm and home life.
One of the lighter memories many of us share is Agnes's fondness for the movie Gone with the Wind and her affection for Clark Gable. The family teased her so much about it that someone bought her a life-sized poster of him, which she kept on the back of her bedroom door — a charming reminder of her playful side.
Agnes's health declined gradually in her later years, but she faced it with the same calm, steady strength that defined her life. She passed peacefully in the spring of 2026, after a long and full life — one lived simply, with a big heart and a deep devotion to family.
When I close my eyes and remember Agnes, I see her in the kitchen, quietly working, or sitting beside me with that soft, steady voice. I hear the laughter of children playing nearby, the gentle creak of the rocking chair where she often dozed off watching her favourite shows. I feel the warmth of her presence, the comfort of her care, and the strength of her love.
Agnes leaves behind a legacy not just in the home she kept so meticulously or the blankets she knitted with care, but in the hearts of all who knew her. She was a quiet pillar of strength, a woman of practical wisdom and unwavering love. We are better for having known her, and her memory will continue to inspire us to live with kindness, patience, and a deep commitment to those we love.
Thank you, Agnes, for everything. We will carry you with us always.
