Agnes Evelyn Ingleby

The family of Agnes Evelyn Ingleby (nee Anderson) sadly announce her passing the evening of Wednesday June 20, 2018 in her 97th year with family by her side. Mom was cherished by family and friends and will be deeply missed. Mom was born to Peter and Mabel (Moen) Anderson on December 31, 1920 on the family farm in Briercrest, Saskatchewan. A farm still in the family today, thanks to her hard-working nephews Scott and Kevin. She was a proud member of the Woman’s Royal Canadian Naval Service and served her country well. She attended many reunions with her “Navy Gals”. On December 6th, 1950 Mom married her true love Thomas Ingleby and together they raised three children. She had an unshakable faith in God, which was a comfort to her throughout her long life. She was a wonderful baker; well known for her delicious dinner buns which earned her the nickname “Agnes of the Ritz” from her daughter Donna. She was a devoted volunteer both to her church and to the community. She delivered Meals on Wheels, worked on the canteen cart at the hospital, spent countless hours at the D.V. Currie V.C. Armouries with the militia and with the Sea Cadets to which both Wayne and Jean belonged. She was a life member on the Union Hospital Ladies Auxiliary and a Royal Canadian Legion member. Wherever there was a need she was there at the ready with pies, buns, or whatever was required. She truly put others first. Mom remained in her home into her early nineties until a fall made it necessary to move from her beloved home. She lived in Caleb Village and West Park Crossing for a short while and managed to make many more friends. Her final journey began at Extendicare, where she was well regarded by all of her caregivers. Over the last few days we were told by many that she was such a sweet lady. She truly was. Mom was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Mabel Anderson; the love of her life, Thomas Ingleby with whom she is now reunited; brothers Melvin and Donald; sisters Alice, Helen and Anna (Strandlund). Mom is survived by her children Donna (Jim) Robb, Wayne (Patricia) Ingleby, Jean (Steven) McDougall all of Moose Jaw;grandchildren Jamie (Robyn Geres) Robb, Michael Robb, Coralee (Jayson Ross) Ingleby, Amanda (Jordan) Dumond, Sarah Cahill and Fiona Cahill; great-grandchildren Lawson and Hadley Dumond; sister Lillian Wostradowski; sister in law Marie Anderson as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins across the globe. A very special thank you and much gratitude to all her caregivers over the past few years, especially the wonderful staff at Extendicare Moose Jaw for your compassion right up until the end. We truly admire all of you. A Funeral Service will take place Saturday, June 30th at 1:30PM, at St. Aiden’s Church (124 1 Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK). The Reverend Deacon Arleen Champion will officiate. For those so wishing memorial donations may be made to the Moose Jaw Health Foundation.In living memory of Agnes, a memorial tree planting will be made by JONES Funeral Home.
