It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Agnes Devine—beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend—on April 26, 2026, at the age of 90.

Agnes was born on July 29, 1935, in Glasgow, Scotland. In the spring of 1957, she and her husband, John Devine, embarked on their greatest adventure, setting sail for Canada—a country entirely new to them, where they knew no one. With determination and courage, they built a new life together. After several stops across the country, they made their home in Edmonton, Alberta, where they raised their three sons.

While raising her family, Agnes developed a deep love of cooking and baking—along with an enthusiasm for every kitchen gadget she could find. She delighted in exploring cuisines far beyond those of her youth, often recreating “exotic” dishes for her family to enjoy.

In her earlier years, she worked in Glasgow’s textile factories, a skill that later blossomed into a passion for knitting. With the help of her beloved knitting machines, she created beautiful garments for family and friends. She was an active member of several knitting clubs, where she shared her talents, taught others, and formed lasting friendships.

Agnes was predeceased by her husband, John; her brothers, John and George; and her sisters, Josephine and Rosie.

She is lovingly remembered by her sons: James (Pam), David (Liz), and Matthew (Nicole); her grandchildren: Adrian, Shawn, Teryn, and Ryan; and her great-grandchildren: Charlie, Syd, Harper, sister Maggie and her 8 nieces and nephews.

Agnes was a woman of strong opinions—many of them delightfully amusing (IYKYK)—and she had a wonderful sense of humor. She loved a good laugh and brought joy to those around her. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Agnes’s memory to Pilgrims Hospice.
