Dr.
Reverend
Agnes
GROOME was a woman of remarkable energy and
organizational skills. An accomplished educator and minister,
she was highly educated, earning seven degrees in seven decades
(B.A., B.Ed., B.Div., M.A., M.Ed., Ph.D., M.Div.). Involved in
life-long learning, she took her last course at the University
of Regina at the age of 88. Her teaching positions included Central
Collegiate (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan), Martin and Sheldon Williams
Collegiate (Regina, Saskatchewan), University of Regina, and
University of Toronto. Her church postings included mission fields
in rural Saskatchewan, Saint_James United Church (Regina), Grace
Church in Moose Jaw, St. Andrew's (Toronto), Silverthorne (Toronto),
and a short locum in Ft. Qu'appelle. A woman ahead of her time,
St. Andrew's College refused her ordination and her name was
struck from the roster of graduates because she had married and
was expecting her first child. Agnes always took a leadership
role in community organizations including the Young Women's Christian
Association, United Nations Association, University Women's Club,
Health Research Board, Saskatchewan Pension Committee, New Democratic
Party (candidate in Wascana), plus many church positions including
Sunday School Superintendent, Elder (first female in position
at Lakeview United Church). Agnes was honoured to have been appointed
by the government of Saskatchewan to the Cluff Lake Inquiry into
uranium development. As recent as two years ago, Agnes embarked
on a project to have stained glass windows honouring women in
the Bible installed in Lakeview United Church. As part of her
dedication to education in Saskatchewan, Agnes established several
scholarship funds at the University of Regina in the names of
her husband Les
GROOME, her brother-in-law Paul
GROOME, her parents
Sam and Isabelle, and plus made a generous donation to the University
of Regina establishing the Groome family fellowship in health
research. Agnes and Les were a remarkable team; through all their
studies, travels, and endeavours they loved and supported each
other. Agnes was a true matriarch in her family. She was the
driving force behind family projects; everyone was expected to
be onboard and involved. She could do anything and did -- wire
a home, build a stone fence, shingle a roof, install floors and
siding, build furniture, sew, even bake 12 pies at a time. Agnes
tackled everything with passion, including stamp collecting,
family tree research (four volumes), and land development. Foreign
travels were opportunities to study history and were fodder for
lectures. Widowed at 62, she then earned a new degree, and embarked
on a new career in a new city. Beloved by her grandchildren,
she encouraged them in all their varied interests. Later in life
she took great pleasure in building a new home (at age 80) and
planting 900 perennials on Pasqua Lake. She knew Canada well
as she moved many times: from Fleming to Brandon, Saskatoon,
Regina, Dunnville, Guelph, Clinton, Vancouver, Moose Jaw, Regina,
and Toronto. Funeral will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2008,
2 p.m., at Wesley United Church, 3913 Hillsdale Street, Regina.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 4, 6-7: 30 p.m. at
Speers Funeral Chapel 2136 College Avenue, Regina. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Sam and Bella Mills Scholarship,
University of Regina.
