She loved life, travel, enjoyed gardening, canoeing, life at the lake,
good friends and family. She and Les were married for 69 years and
together for 75 years having met when they were 15 years and 18 years
old. They were superb parents who taught the boys to love life. Their

Agnes spent the last two years of her life as a resident of
Riverview Manor, Montague PEI where she received the best care that
one could imagine. She remarked that she had begun her days at
Riverview School near Beaverton and was at Riverview Manor so many
years later. The Oliver family thanks the staff of Riverview Manor and
Health PEI for the wonderful care that Mom received. Agnes is survived
by Lena Myers, her best friend whom she met at Riverview Manor. The
two ladies were dear friends and made great company for each
other.

Agnes, Les and Randy will be remembered.
