Agnes Theresa McGrath (nee Fleming)

Born: January 6th, 1929

Passed on: July 6th, 2016

On July 6, 2016 Agnes McGrath passed peacefully from this world. She was the last surviving child of Edward and Agnes Fleming. Predeceased by her husband in 2010, there is no doubt that Mom was met by the love of her life, her dance partner for 58 years, our Dad, "Paddy" McGrath. She loved him. She loved Torbay. She loved her family and friends. She was a master in the kitchen and loved to cook and bake. Passionate about dancing, walking, knitting, especially praying, she still found time to keep her home spotless and always welcomed a crowd for a meal or a game of cards. Her heart was happiest when her house and table were full. Her special love for dogs lead to a good home for many treasured pets. Love and kisses for each and every one. Mom was happy to have her family close and was proud that most lived in Torbay. She will be missed tremendously by her daughters: Madonna (Andrew) Edmunds, Carolyn (Paul) Cantwell, and sons: Patrick (Shelley), Kevin (Barb). Memories of Nan will always be treasured by grandchildren: Brad (Michelle) Edmunds, Amy (Brian) Murray, Stephen Cantwell (Laurie), Amanda (Brandon) Decker, Danielle (Colin), Chad Hollett (Janet) and Kristyn Hollett (Matt), Samantha Ellis (Tristan), Sonya Ellis (Stefan). Famous for her hugs, candies, and toonies, Nanny Graw is forever loved by great-grandchildren: Rachel, Claire, Ben, and Sam. She was so excited to hear that her 5th great-grandchild was on his way. We know she will be watching proudly as baby boy Decker is brought into this world. She will also be missed by a large circle of nieces and nephews especially Bernadette Field, Gloria Cole, and Judy Dawe. She had a special place in her heart for Gen Tapper, a life-long friend. The family is filled with gratitude for the care and friendship Mom received at North Pond Manor and would like to especially thank Violet, Carrie, Jean, Ann, Paula and Margaret. Resting at Caul's Funeral Home, Torbay. Visitation on Saturday and Sunday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, July 11, 2016 at 10 a.m. from Holy Trinity Church. Interment to follow R.C. Cemetery, Bauline Line. Mom spent many hours in her garden. Flowers are gratefully accepted or donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Now at rest Mom, free from pain,
You're with Dad now.
Dancing again.
