AGNES (AGGIE) CHRISTINE DAIGNAULT

In loving memory of Agnes (Aggie) Christine Daignault, who passed away peacefully at her home in Wabigoon, Ont. on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015.
Aggie was born Feb. 10, 1934 to Joseph and Muriel Rousseau in Fort Frances, Ont.
In 1952, she married Jim Daignault and seven years later, they decided to expand their family when they fell in love with and adopted the first two of their five children, Patrick and Michael from Timmins, Ont.
When they were bringing their boys home, they were surprised to find out they were expecting and went on to add Tracy, Timothy, and Peggy to complete their family.
In 1964, they moved to Dryden, Ont., where Aggie began working for the Dryden Paper Co. until she left when she and Jim bought the Cedar Motel in Wabigoon and went into the trucking business.
After Jim passed away, Aggie and Tim started D&D Contracting. She continued to operate the Cedar Motel while also doing the bookkeeping for D&D until her passing.
Aggie was blessed with a caring family and close group of friends. There was never a day that went by without someone stopping by for coffee and a visit.
Her door always was open to anyone who needed advice or just someone to talk to. She also loved visiting with her grandchildren and telling them stories about family and growing up in Fort Frances.
If you put in a request before your visit, she even would have a piece of her amazing carrot cake waiting for you.
Aggie enjoyed picking blueberries, playing Bingo, and religiously watching the news and stock market. She kept everyone informed on what was going on in the world and how the price of gold was doing.
In the last few years, she spent a lot of time fishing with her family and enjoying summer barbecues and fish frys with all of her children and grandchildren.
She was thrilled to see much of her extended family at a large family reunion this past August at Aaron Park.
Aggie is survived by her children, Pat (Karen) Daignault, Mike, Tracy (Klaus) Rottler, Tim Daignault (Angela Brannan), Peggy (Heinz) Lang, and Jess Roy (whom she thought of as a son); 11 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Also surviving are her sister, Mary Johnson of Fort Frances, Ont.; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
She was pre-deceased by her parents, Joseph and Muriel Rousseau; husband, Jim Daignault; brothers, Jim and Bud (Oliver) Rousseau; and good friend, Erwin Bartz.
There was no visitation as cremation had taken place.
A memorial dervice will be held Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the Dryden Community Funeral Home, followed by a luncheon at Wabigoon Memorial Hall.
Interment of ashes will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations may be made to Wabigoon Local Services Board for the Memorial Hall or a charity of your choice c/o the Dryden Community Funeral Home, 249 Grand Trunk Ave., Dryden, Ont., P8N 2X3.
