With sadness and in celebration of a wonderful life, we announce the peaceful death of Agnes Dever, 86, after a brief illness, on August 28, 2017, in the comfort of Lisaard House in Cambridge.
Champion and cheerleader of her children Michael, Mary (John), Marty (Ryan), and Kathryn (Michael). Treasured Grandma of Andrea and Sarah.
Devoted sister to Mary Geng and Frank Geng (Joyce), Agnes is now reunited with her parents, Nicholas and Veronica Geng, and her brothers Albert (Jane) and Norman (Carol). She's also remembered by her niece Lori Geng.
Agnes enjoyed her career, especially her roles at St. Joseph’s and St. Mary’s hospitals. Throughout her long life, Agnes modeled the importance of giving back to her community. She was a lifelong volunteer with special fondness for contributing to the Victoria School Centre and Downtown Community Centre until early 2017. Agnes loved live concerts, local theatre, day trips, and the challenge of the daily crossword.
We’ll honour her memory by keeping her compassion, kindness, and welcoming spirit alive. She had a wonderful ability to find common ground with everyone she met, and was always ready with a smile and a friendly word.
Thanks to the caring 5th Floor team at St. Mary’s Hospital, and heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary staff and volunteers at Lisaard House. Agnes and her family appreciate each of you for your loving care.
As she wished, cremation, interment, and a small family memorial have taken place. To honour her memory and to help other families, please consider a donation to Lisaard House.
"See you later, alligator."
