Obituary of Agnes Irene Fennell (nee Bourne)

Peacefully, on February 23, 2021, age 88. Loving mother of Michael (Jean), Cathy (Michael), Nancy (Pat), David (Nancy), Paul (Tammie), and Sandra (Jeff). Cherished grandmother of Michael, Jackie, Kristen, Sarah, Katie, Carter, Megan and Bradley. Also survived by five great grandchildren, Patrick, Charlotte, William, Savannah and Brayden. Predeceased by her husband Louis, parents Lottie and Martin, her brother Laurence and her sisters Margot and Janice. The valedictorian of the class of 1953B (General Hospital, St. John’s, NL), Agnes was an accomplished and highly respected nurse particularly as Director of Nursing at Hillel Lodge (Ottawa). She culminated her career by assisting in the planning, development and ultimately as the Executive Director at Unitarian House, where she was deeply loved. The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the always amazing staff at Forest Hill and to her dedicated and loving caregivers, Sheila and Heather. Due to Covid restrictions, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In memoriam, donations to The Alzheimer’s Society or Unitarian House would be appreciated.
