Date of Passing: Jan 19, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryAGNES HARDER (nee BRAUN) July 7, 1932 January 19, 2013 Agnes was born on July 7, 1932 in South Ukraine. She grew up there until her family fled to Poland, Austria, and then Germany and later immigrated to Canada in 1947. They were sponsored to Canada by a relative, settling in a small farm in Chortitz, Manitoba. Mom was a hard worker and helped support her parents and nephew Harry when they immigrated to Canada. Mom worked many odd jobs until she started working at King George Hospital in Winnipeg. Here she made many new lifelong friends while she was in residence. And it was shortly thereafter, she met the love of her life, Abraham (Abe) Harder. They were married on August 26, 1951. They had five children and settled in the Fort Garry area in Winnipeg where they lived for almost 30 years. In 1979 they move to Tourond, MB close to where Dad was born. Mom was a great cook who could whip up a tasty meal or dessert in no time. Her home was always open to friends and family; she always had time for anyone who needed an encouraging word or cup of tea. She was more concerned for the well-being of others than for herself. Mom loved her garden as well as the birds, the rabbits, and all the animals that made it their home. In September of 1992 Dad passed away and she missed him greatly. A new grandchild gave her renewed purpose in her life. She continued to live on the farm with her son and daughter's family close by. Mom went on to have many happy times over the next 20 years, maintaining her health and sharp mind. She is survived by her five children Vicky Smith (Bruce), Carol Pond (Bill), Rose Kuras (Perry), Richard Harder, Laura Roy (Ray); grandchildren, Warren, Luke, Donovan, Sara, Matthew, Samantha and great-grandchildren Landon and Levi. She was predeceased by her husband Abe, her parents, Peter and Anna Braun, her sister Anna and two brothers Pete and Hein. You're Not Alone In youth, or in maturity In companionship, or by yourself. In hope, or in despair, In good health, or in sickness. In joy, or in sadness. You are supported in good times and bad by the hand of the Lord. "For the task is too much for you; you are not able to do it alone."

Vicky, Rose, Richard, and Laura, it is with great sadness that I heard of Tante Annes' passing. Though many years have gone by, the time has not obliterated the wonderful memories I have of her beautiful, gentle manner and enveloping warmth. You were truly enriched to have been given this loving mother, and I hope the memories you have, help to sustain you during this time of loss. - Posted by: Karen Hiebert (Niece) on: Mar 01, 2013

Our Deepest sympathies on the loss of your Mother, Grandmother. I will forever remember your Mom's wonderful smile and loving words she was such a kind and wonderful person. Growing up with Laura much of my Childhood was spent in her Mom's kitchen lots of yummy treats. If we were not at Laura's House then we could be found at my house...lucky little girls kinda like having Two Moms to Love on us. Those we Love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still Loved, still missed and very Dear. May the Love of those around you help you through the days ahead. xoxo - Posted by: Coreen and Wally Othman (Friends) on: Jan 22, 2013

God could not be everywhere & therefore, he created Mothers. The heart of a mother is a deep abyss, at the bottom of which, you will always find forgiveness. Rest in peace, dear Agnes. - Posted by: Ilmars Kuras (Brother of Son-in-Law) on: Jan 22, 2013

Our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to you and your Family on the loss of your wonderful Mom and Grandma. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May the Peace God's promise offers help to ease your grief today and may He always be beside you as you go along life's way. "Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the worldly existence we know. Somewhere a path stretches over the stars, and rivers of memories flow. Somewhere a silence is heard far away and the rightness of day fills the night, where the trials of life are resolved into peace when a soul finds its way to the light." Thinking of You and Sending Hugs! <3 - Posted by: Karen, Brian, Kailyn & Josh Reimer (Friends) on: Jan 22, 2013
