Agnes (Aggie) Bazowski was born on November 26, 1936 in the summer kitchen of her Grandma's house on a farm near Runnymede, SK. She was the fourth of Nick and Mary Trach's five daughters. She attended Memorial School in Runnymede and received her Grade 12 diploma from Kamsack Collegiate Institute. Upon completion of the Saskatoon Business College Secretarial Course, Agnes worked as a stenographer for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Saskatoon for five years. The engagement between Agnes and Ed Bazowski, the man who filled her graduation dance card, took place on December 30, 1956 - a date they commemorated yearly. They were married in Kamsack on October 13, 1958. From that time forward the thirteenth of each month became celebratory. They resided in Saskatoon and Kamsack before making Churchbridge their home in 1962. Agnes moved into the Langenburg Centennial Care Home in 2005. Agnes was an avid birdwatcher. Many were called upon to "top off" the bird feeders when visiting. Plants flourished under Agnes' green thumb, as did the many friendships she developed over the years. The great diversity of music that Agnes enjoyed was comparable only to the volume at which she listened to it. Agnes was predeceased by her parents, Nick and Mary Trach; her husband, Edward; her sister, Anne; her brothers-in-law, Wayne Bartusek and Ray Bauml. She will be remembered by her daughters, Shannon (Al) and Marina (Terry); her sisters, Jeanne, Victoria and Lucille (Lloyd); her grandchildren, Rory Katchur, Kyla (Jonny) Toupich, Maks Katchur and Claire Wensley; her great-grandson, Edward James Katchur as well as numerous nieces and nephews. In accordance with the wishes of both Agnes and Edward, no funeral service will be held at this time. They will be interred together at a later date. As tokens of remembrance, those so wishing may make memorial donations to the Langenburg Centennial Care Home, specifically for the "Activity Department".
Isn't it strange how princes and kings,
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
and common people, like you and me,
are builders for eternity.
Each is given a list of rules;
a shapeless mass; a bag of tools.
And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone.
- R. L. Sharpe
