Obituary of Agnes Campbell

Agnes Lorraine “Aggie” (Carrigan) Campbell 69, Lakeview formerly of Sydney passed away suddenly on Feb. 1/2010.

Her smile could light up any room. She faced life’s hardships with a sense of humor and always wanted to make those around her feel better. She was the first on her feet in any crisis, often forgetting her own problems to be there for her family and friends. We have lost our “rock” but will cherish the many memories and all the things she taught us. You are at peace now and all your pain is gone. We know you will always be with us ; you are greatly loved. Surviving are her husband Allan, daughters Paula Clark (Fall River NS), Catherine Campbell Wilson (Toronto ON), son-in-laws Scott Clark and Chris Wilson and the joy of Grammy’s life Sophie and William Clark. She also leaves behind her siblings Thelma Green , Dobie ON, Anna Kyle, New Glasgow , Barbara Marchant, Minot ND, Vernon Carrigan, Carl Carrigan and Theresa Carrigan, all of New Glasgow NS; special chosen sister Judy Surette of Sydney NS.
