April 15, 2026 at 1:08 pmI was so saddened to hear Mrs. Howell passed away . I have known her since I was a little girl living on Topsail Road. I remember my parents having a party and I followed her into the washroom as she was fixing her lipstick . I was 7 or 8 years old and I remember looking up at her and saying, your the most beautiful women in the world!! She fondly smiled and laughed . She sure was that, inside and out and was always so kind to me when I saw her.Sending my sincere condolences to Mr. Howell, Lisa , Chad , Brent and all her grandchildren and families. Hugs & ❤️

April 16, 2026 at 10:43 amFrank, Lisa , Chad, Brent and families,
I am so sorry to hear that Agnes passed. I got to know Agnes first as a parent of Brent, who was my student. Agnes also worked at Colemans where I would order my groceries for school. She was always so helpful to me. Whenever we saw each other, we stopped and chatted. She was so proud of her family. I also learned that she was the aunt of a school friend of mine and lived on Fourth Street where I grew up. It is such a small world. I will plant a flower in my yard to honor Agnes. Please keep your precious memories close to your heart. Agnes is now your guardian angel. She will watch over you as you continue to live your lives and honor her.
Take care,
Donna Rice-Parsons

April 16, 2026 at 5:55 pmFrank, & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known your family since I was a child. Being Madeline’s BFfF and at her house more than my own, I saw Agnes and Frank a lot. I stepped up as babysitter when Lisa and Chad came along and my older sisters stepped down. I have so many wonderful memories of Agnes as she was always a part of my life growing up. She will certainly be missed but I feel at peace knowing that she is with her siblings in heaven. Rest easy Agnes and fly with the angels ❤️

April 17, 2026 at 5:39 pmFrank, Lisa, Chad, Brent & families, we are so sorry to hear that Agnes passed away. We were neighbours & friends on Stojko Pl and Agnes was one of the most positive, funny & joyful people I ever met. Everyone loved her! She always made time for a chat, no matter what she was doing. The last time I saw her was at Bowering Park on a school trip with Jacob. That was a while ago now. We had a great chat that day too. RIP Agnes. You always had such a cheerful personality & we always smile when we think of you and reminisce about our years on Stojko.

April 17, 2026 at 8:27 pmFrank, Lisa, Chad, Brent, Katie and families,
My daughter Robyn Kerrivan just told me that Agnes had passed away. I am so very sorry for your loss and the loss to all who knew her.
To know Agnes, was to love her. She had such a Cherry disposition and kindness, was a lifestyle she practiced freely.
Although I knew her as the most friendly cashier at Coleman’s, I had gotten to know her personally when we lived across the street from each other on Wilson Crescent.
She was indeed a precious soul and will be dearly missed.
May God comfort you all, for He will turn your sorrow into joy.
God bless you all.
