Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
peace,
river
north.
Thank
you
honorable
speaker,
agnes
keegan
knee
penman,
was
born
september
20th
1920
in
howard,
roxburgh
shire,
scotland,
at
the
age
of
101.
A
She
recently
passed
away
just
this
past
october,
in
vancouver
agnes
had
an
incredible
life
of
service
at
the
start
of
the
second
world
war,
her
and
a
friend
went
to
birmingham
and
worked
in
a
munitions
factory
for
a
couple
of
years.
Knowing
she
wanted
to
do
more.
She
joined
the
british
army
in
1942
at
the
age
of
22..
A
She
trained
in
wales
and
subsequently
transferred
to
the
27th
lancaster
corps
ordinance
corps
where
her,
where
her
trade
was
vehicle
driver
after
honorable
service
and
attaining
the
rank
of
corporal,
she
released
from
the
british
army
in
1946,
transferred
to
the
supplemental
army
reserve
and
moved
to
vancouver.
Shortly
thereafter.
A
I
was
quick
to
learn
of
the
incredible
impact
and
the
important
role
that
agnes
played
with
the
kirakur
since
1980,
I
might
add,
she
was
a
devoted
volunteer
that
never
missed
a
night.
She
knew
every
single
cadet
and
was
deeply
connected
and
admired
by
all.
During
my
time
at
2290,
I
appointed
her
as
the
honorary
sergeant
major,
and
I
tell
you
she
had
no
problems.
Keeping
me
in
line
agnes
was
equally
respected
by
the
british
columbia
regiment,
the
dukes.
A
Not
only
was
agnes
known
for
her
work
with
the
military,
but
she
was
a
life
member
and
sergeant
arms
of
the
anna
vets
unit
100,
as
well
as
a
life
member
of
the
royal
canadian
legion
branch
179
with
nearly
60
years
service
to
the
vancouver
community.
Agnes
will
be
remembered
and
missed
by
many.
Lest
we
forget.
