She received a gold watch and ring for her dedicated service of 30 years at Macleod’s. Everybody that knew Agnes will remember her for her love of the sport of hockey. She was always interested in most sports throughout her life but hockey was her passion. Agnes loved the “Edmonton Oilers” and she would give you a good argument if you were the unfortunate one to be rooting for the “Calgary Flames”. Her presence at the “Blue Line” in the Drumheller arena will be notably missed.
