Obituary of Agnes Thelma Clinton

It is with great sadness that the family of Agnes Thelma Clinton announce her passing which occurred on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at Kiwanis Nursing Home, Sussex, NB, at the age of 100 years old. She was born in Springfield, New Brunswick on January 9, 1921, the daughter of John Thomas and Dora (Wetmore) Neill.

Agnes graduated from Sussex High School in 1939 and married Carl Clinton in 1940. Carl was a career soldier and they lived in many provinces of Canada. When Carl and Agnes retired from the army, they settled in the Okanagan in British Columbia where they lived for over forty years. Agnes and Carl had three children: Carla, LaVerne and Sheryl.

She is survived by her daughters: Carla (Ben) of San Antonio, Texas, and Sheryl (Ken) of Trail, British Columbia; grandchildren: Angela, Francesca (Raymond), Deneen (Troy), Dennis (Liz), Susan (Tom), Robert (Shannon) and Carla K. (Mike); as well as several great grandchildren which are living in Texas, Winnipeg, Alberta and British Columbia. Agnes is also survived by her sister-in-law Ida Neill of Hatfield Point, NB, and many loving nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Agnes was predeceased by her loving husband Carl; beloved son Verne; grandson Kenneth; as well as several siblings.

Agnes was a talented homemaker, seamstress and knitter. She enjoyed gardening, playing bridge and bowling. She always had a dream to return to New Brunswick to live. She did so at the age of 93 years.
