AGNEW, Lisbet (Liz) Bodil (nee Larsen)
June 28, 1949 – Naestved, Denmark to July 4, 2013 – Calgary, Canada
Lovely, loving Lisbet passed away after having lived life to its fullest for 64 years, including 18½ of them as a cancer warrior and a hero to the rest of us. Liz is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband David; sons Sean (Cheryl), Sam/Ian (Velvet); grandsons Kyle and Justin; sister Kirsten; brothers John (Marilyn), Peter (Irene) and Niels (Marlene), as well as many, many nieces and nephews and their families. Liz’s legacy is the positive affect her life has had on so many people. In this age of instant communication, her many wonderful attributes are best described in the words of those who knew her well and who have responded to her passing – “a truly great lady”, “amazing and inspiring”, “thoughtful and talented”, “a warm positive personality”, “a joy to be around”, “an inspiration to us all”, “she never gave up”, “precious and beautiful”, “a very special friend”, “what a trooper”, “a heroine”, “a terrific role model”, “such a positive attitude”, “fought like a warrior”, “a woman of strength, always so joyful, so inviting, a fantastic cook and a beautiful lady”, and “the biggest inspiration”.
A Celebration of Liz’s life will be held FOSTER’S GARDEN CHAPEL, 3220 – 4 Street N.W., Calgary (across from Queen’s Park Cemetery) on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of one’s choosing or specifically for cancer research in Liz’s name, care of the Alberta Cancer Foundation, 710 – 10123, 99 Street N.W., Edmonton, AB, T5J 3H1 (albertacancer.ca/memorial).
The family wishes to thank the entire staff of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for the care and attention they bestowed on Liz over the years.
