AGNES PAUWELYN
(nee CATRYSSE)
Born May 9, 1931; on November 24, 2022, Agnes died peacefully, with family at her side. Born in Poelkapelle Belgium, she immigrated in 1951 with her family, arriving in New York before settling in Stonewall, Manitoba.
Fierce in her love for family, Agnes was predeceased by her husband Marcel, parents Richard and Julia, her siblings Janet (Walter), Jerry, Gorgette, Daniel, and her beloved son Gilbert. She is survived by her children David (Amy), Diane (Dave), Tracy (Mark), Dawn (Marcel) and her grandchildren Coral, Rachel, Leah, Mary, Seth, Jordan and Hillary as well as her sister Yvonne (Conrad) and brother Noel (Darlene).
Modest in her talents, she was an accomplished cross-stitcher and seamstress. She was forever reading and learning; books on nutrition were a particular passion. A regular at the gym - European Health Spa then the Y, in her later years she exercised daily at home on her treadmill or bike.
A dog lover, our first dog, Spot, loved her most, not only because she brought him Chicken Delight leftovers in her purse. Her last dog, Lila, worshipped her, stealing her slippers for comfort when Agnes went anywhere.
Thank you to everyone at Cathedral Manor and Concordia Hospital for the lovely care. We also want to extend our love and gratitude to everyone around her home on Beechwood Place, for your community generosity. Stopping for a chat, offering to walk or play with Lila, fixing her computer and the many other kind acts made life in her home of 56 years so very much better.
In times of darkness, love sees...
In times of silence, love hears...
In times of doubt, love hopes...
In times of sorrow, love heals...
And in all times, love remembers.
May time soften the pain
Until all that remains
Is the warmth of the memories
And the love.

Our heartfelt condolences to you, dear Pauwelyn family, as you grieve your beloved Mom, Agnes, and also as you celebrate her love. Diane, Tracey & Dawn, I hit the jackpot when you all became my babysitters many moons ago. You all were instrumental in my eventually becoming nurse. Being able to leave my 4 active children (Jeremy, Rebecca, Josh & Jordan)in each of your capable care while I took university courses was a godsend. Tracey, remember when you had to call an ambulance when Jordan ran and put his arm through the glass door! Thanks again for your quick thinking. It was a scary situation for any babysitter. Your parents raised such wonderful daughters! With gratitude and grace, I thank them. Seeing you all, from time to time, in the Norwood neighbourhood since the babysitter years has been a lovely reminder of the gift of caring that your family bestowed upon my family. Blessings of love, Debbie - Posted by: Debbie Springett-Frymire (Friend) on: Dec 03, 2022

Dear Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always nice to me and she was an important part of my childhood memories of growing up with you in Norwood. I remember she was always very proud of you. My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family. Love, Grace, Don, & family - Posted by: Grace Lee (Friend) on: Dec 03, 2022
