The death of Agnes Boardman, of Saint John, wife of Albert Boardman (deceased), occurred on Monday, October 30th, 2006 at the St. Joseph’s Hospital, in Saint John.

She was a member of St. Andrew & St. David United Church and the International Order of King’s Daughters and Sons, but her passion was her family, and her constant companion in later years … Charlie, her cherished lahsa aphso.
