• Notes

  CLARK, Agnes Sarah Ann Miss Agnes Clark died Monday, January 18, 2016, at The Hanning House Retirement Home after an illness of several weeks. Agnes was born on Francis Street in Galt, September 2, 1919. She was the only child of Emerson Clark and Estella Munshaw. Agnes moved to Hamilton Street in Preston in 1929, and lived there with her parents and grandparents, James and Sarah Clark. Agnes was a woman of accomplishment, intelligence, and deep compassion. She was taught the responsible use of firearms from an early age and accompanied her father and grandfather on hunting expeditions. An expert trap shooter, she enjoyed the sport until her late 70s. Agnes was also a great naturalist and conservationist. She wanted to care for every animal she met, especially those who were misfits in some way. There was a long succession of cats and dogs in her house and even a beloved pet Mallard, Pete the Duck. She loved classical music and attended concerts and theatre until the end of her life. A keen gardener, she enjoyed maintaining her home though admittedly housework was not her strong suit. She did however always have time for others, be they her weekly bowling companions, neighbours, or life-long friends. A talented student, Agnes attended business college after graduating from the Preston Continuation School. Following a short time working at Canada Sand Paper she spent the next 55 years working for The Werlich Manufacturing Company, and then its successor Werlich Investments where she was the trusted manager of family assets. Late in life she, somewhat grudgingly, decided that she enjoyed travel including trips to the U.S., Italy, England, and France. At the age of 90 she became the first of her family to visit the grave at Vimy of her uncle, Corporal William Clark. She continued to visit New York City and attend the opera until two years ago. Agnes was predeceased by her parents, grandparents, and best friend of 86 years, Miss Elisabeth Clare. She is survived by her devoted cousin Mrs. Elsie Macmillan of New Liskeard and her family. In addition to being a much-loved friend of five generations of the Clare family, she had a group of caring friends who returned her kindness and empathy until her last day. Lynne Mixer and Allan Doyle were close confidants over the past 20 years. During her four years at The Hanning House her genuine interest in the lives and well being of the staff and fellow residents was noted and appreciated by them. Nobody could be a more devoted and faithful friend than Agnes Clark. Agnes enjoyed a long and happy life and was grateful for it. A Service of Celebration of Life well be held on Friday, July 15, 2016 at 4 p.m. at Knox Preston Presbyterian Church, 132 Argyle St. N., Cambridge. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Cambridge Humane Society or Community Living in memory of Agnes Clark.
