Agnes Joyce Kolar (née Rubic)
August 06, 1924 – July 26, 2021
On July 26th, 2021, Agnes Joyce Kolar, 96, passed away peacefully in her sleep at St. Joseph’s Villa.
Born in Schumacher, Ontario on August 6th, 1924, she moved to Sudbury with her parents Joseph and Julia (née Ostovich) Rubic, and brothers Lawrence and Ronald Rubic (all predeceased). In 1951 she became the lovingly devoted wife of Božo (Robert) Kolar, having predeceased her in 2013. She was the proud and loving mother of Dianne Pen (husband, Luciano), Martin Kolar (wife, Shirley) and Jimmy Kolar (Lisa) and good friend and former wife, Trina. The most fantastic grandmother to six grandchildren: Elisa (Speros), Eric (Cora), Katie Jo (Evan), Vanessa (Klay), Beckie and Mila. A proud great-grandmother to 10 great-grandchildren: Domenic, Ella, Abigail, Raena, Isabel, Maia, Edie, Lia, Marcus, and Ellie.
Just shy of her 97th birthday, she was always the last to leave the party and the first to dole out practical advice… “You can’t take it with you when you’re gone’’ was one of her favourite lines. She was warm and generous of heart and enjoyed a good laugh, even sharing jokes upon her final days when visitors arrived, “I am downsizing, do you want to take any of this?’’ Her laugh was infectious and genuine and she would never pass up on an opportunity for a BIG HUG.
One last time, “Stara, it’s time to pack your tools” was whispered from the heavens and she finally packed up her tools and hit the road to join Bob after a job well done.
A heartfelt thank you to our friend Dr. Dan Krawchuk, and Nurse Phil and all the staff at St. Joseph’s Villa for their kindness and genuine care they provided to Agnes during her final years.
The family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to Canadian Hearing Services or to St. Joseph’s Foundation Sudbury. Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home. For donations and messages of condolence, www.lougheedfuneralhomes.com.
