It is with sadness and a heavy heart we announce the untimely passing of Agnes Helen Chayer (Nagy). Agnes left us peacefully, surrounded by her family, on April 7, 2021 at the age of 81 after a lengthy hard fought battle with cancer. She sadly leaves behind her cherished and loving husband of 61 years Pierre Henri Chayer, her dearest daughter Lorraine (Brian Farrell) and loving son Robert (Marie-Chantale Poitras). Sadly, Agnes had to say goodbye to her cherished son Marc (Suzanne Arcangeli) and beautiful daughter Carol-Lynn (Guillaume Hervé) well before their time. Agnes is survived by her sister Mary Brandt and her six beautiful grandchildren; Matthew (Kaitlyn), Nicolas, Emily(Jeremy), Alexandre (Ivona), Sophia and Sebastian, and great grandchild (Abby).
Throughout our mother’s illness and the significant challenges brought her way, she always prioritized taking care of herself so she could be there for her family. Looking back, we are only beginning to understand just how much she had to overcome to be the mother she was to us.
We were lucky enough to have her in our life for over 81 years, and we are grateful for every one of those moments. She was a passionate, strong and strong minded person. She was an active person always wanting to keep her body moving and staying in shape. She took up skiing later in life only quitting a few years ago. Agnes was an avid reader which lead her to go back to school, once her children where grown, to study library sciences. She was a volunteer librarian, after retiring, until her last days. To her grandchildren she was the beloved grandma with the magical book bag. Always loving, authentic, honest, trustworthy, accepting, patient, active, generous, brave and open to learning new things. Her braveness and strength in the end was truly remarkable.
The strength she has shown us will guide us all on our paths forward. We love you to the moon and back, we will miss you dearly.
There will be a small memorial at Voluntas on Thursday April 15, 2021 by invitation only. For more details visit voluntas.ca
