Agnes (MacLeod) Hay's journey has come to a restful conclusion, Sunday, Jan. 9, 2011, at the Glace Bay Hospital while surrounded by kind and loving hearts.
Agnes was born March 15, 1914, to Robert and Annie (Smith) MacLeod of Glace Bay, where she resided all her life.
A kind and loving spirit, Agnes was possessed of an artistic talent which expressed itself through the beauty of her flower gardens and the wonderful sea and snow scapes done in oil. A marvelous nurturing spirit could be tasted in her famous 'Fat Archie Cookies' which she generously shared to all who loved them. Her selfless compassion was experienced by all who came to know her.
A deep religious belief helped to sustain Agnes in times of stress and through the pain of illness. Her riveting sense of humor kept everyone in high spirits, especially during family gatherings.
