It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Agnes Audry Laurin (nee Burns), on May 13th, 2026. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, strength, and kindness.

Daughter of the late Harold and Annie Burns, she was born July 9th, 1941, in Buckingham, QC, and is survived by her beloved twin sister, Erma Smallian.

She was proud Grandma to her cherished Leo and Samantha (Zach) and Lain. She leaves to mourn countless cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. We will miss her gentle personality and find comfort knowing she is now reunited with Dad and her many relatives and friends.
