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.

SORBIE,
Donald
Gavin
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Donald
Gavin SORBIE on February 13, 2008, much beloved husband, father,
grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend. Don will
be forever missed by his wife, life-long love and best friend,
Irene. He was a loving father to Kelly (Mike) and Jason (Rick),
adoring grandfather and number one fan of Taylor and Shelby and
dear brother of Lynn, Sharon, Ian, Neil, Lyle and Daryl. Our
families and Don's Friends and colleagues mourn the loss of this
joyful, fun-loving man who brought laughter to all our lives.
In his professional life, Don was, for many years, sales manager
of Crosby Group Canada and, most recently, Chief Executive Officer
of his own companies, Fittings and Rope Inc. and Donire Inc.
He travelled throughout Canada on business and, thanks to his
engaging personality, many of his customers became close Friends.
For decades, Don was active with the Jaycees, serving as president
of Ontario Jaycees, vice-president of Canadian Jaycees and lifetime
senator with the organization. From a very early age, Don was
the life of any party and everyone's favourite dance partner.
He revelled in ski trips with his Friends, playing tennis and
golfing. The ultimate family man, his happiest times were spent
with Irene, his children and grandchildren. In keeping with his
wishes, a private, family service was held. A celebration of
his life, with lots of laughter, memories and dancing, will be
held at a date to be announced. While we grieve for Don, we are
grateful for his inspiring legacy love, laugh, dance. Life is
not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments
that take your breath away. Expressions of sympathy may be posted
on the Don Sorbie Tribute page of the Canadian Cancer Society
website: http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/donsorbie

SORGE,
Wayne
A. (1944-2008)
After a brief illness, Wayne - world traveller, history buff,
book fiend, musician, song writer and lover of cats -- died on
May 30, 2008. He had a keen sense of humour and an appreciation
for the lunatic fringe of scholarly trivia. Material things never
mattered to him but the intellectual issues and greater debates
on mankind in the far reaches of the world did. Composing songs
and sharing them with his Friends were of utmost importance.
Wayne worked at the Carleton University Library, Robarts Library
and the Science and Medicine Library, both at the University
of Toronto. He leaves his wife, Mary, and numerous Friends in
Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and the Islands. He will
be sorely missed. Wayne's body has been donated to the University
of Toronto for research and his eyes for organ transplant. Many
thanks to the wonderful doctors and especially the nurses in
the Intensive Care Unit for the care they provided. In lieu of
flowers donations may be made to the Medical-Surgical Intensive
Care Unit at the Toronto Western Hospital. An event where Friends
and family can celebrate his life will take place in a few months,
details to be announced.
