LeCoure (MacDonald), Agnes Patricia - Agnes passed peacefully in her sleep in the early morning on Sunday, October 27, 2024, in her family home.
Born in 1945 in Chatham, New Brunswick, she was a daughter of the late Albert and Josephine.
Agnes is survived by her husband, Clyde; daughter, Diana; son, Jason (Shona); brothers, Gerald (Brenda), Paul, David (Patricia), Dale (Marilyn); and sisters, Roberta MacKinley and Theresa. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her beloved sister, Anne-Marie and brother, Robert.
Agnes was trained and worked as a registered nurse up to the 1980s when she transitioned to medical administration, working in the Nova Scotia Cancer Center for 23 years. Family was always Agnes's focus, and she loved and was beloved by her children, her husband and her large extended family of brothers, sisters, nieces & nephews. Agnes will be missed dearly by all who knew her for her kindness, compassion and loving nature.
Agnes left Chatham when she married Clyde as his military career resulted in a posting to Germany and then eventually to Nova Scotia where they made their home and raised their children. Despite moving away, Agnes maintained a strong connection to the Miramichi region and travelled there regularly to visit family and attend the quadrennial Hiller reunions.
In more active years, Agnes whooped it up as a line dancer with her sister and her son's future wife, even earning a championship in a contest at Parlee Beach back in the 90s. Agnes also enjoyed baking, going on walks, Friday night Pass the Ace, and weekend campfires. Most of all, she loved spending time with her friends and family.
In her later years, the game of cribbage became a passion for Agnes, and she would compete mercilessly against anyone who would dare to peg against her. She learned most of what she knew about computers and the internet so she could play online and never run out of opponents (and to brag about being a Cribbage Grand Master!)
While Agnes battled cancer for more than two decades, she was a happy and joyous person who meant everything to her family and had a great and full life. We love her, we miss her and will always remember her.
We want to thank the doctors and nurses at the QEII Cancer Centre, and the CCAs and nurses at VON, with special appreciation to her VON palliative care team.
A gathering in her memory will be held in her family home on Saturday, Nov 9th from 12 pm to 4 pm. Bring your crib board, a pack of cards, and your favourite memories to share.
