We, the family of Agnes MacEachern, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear mother on June 1, 2023, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital at the age of 99.

Born in New Victoria, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Mary Gouthro.

In her younger days, she was employed with the New Waterford Library and Breton Education Centre.

She loved watching her Toronto Blue Jays; rooting for Kirky. Coronation Street and the Wheel were her two favourite shows.

Along with her parents, Agnes was predeceased by her husband, Allan MacEachern; sisters, Millie and Corrine; brothers, Leo, Francis, Billy and Freeman; daughter-in-law, Elaine.

The family would like to thank her special niece, Colleen MacNeil, EHS, Cape Breton Regional Hospital ER staff, New Waterford Home Care, VON, and the ladies at the King Street seniors' apartment building where she lived.
