Agnes Dennard Countryman
Agnes Dennard Countryman went to be with her Heavenly Father on February 24, 2020, after a long battle with cancer. She was 87.
Agnes was born in Sitka on January 27, 1933, the daughter of Annabelle and Edgar Tibbits. She spent the early part of her childhood in Sitka. When she was in grade school her family moved to Nome to mine for gold for a short time, before returning to Sitka.
Agnes married Robert Countryman, on July 27, 1951. They spent 68 wonderful years together, during which time they lived in several states, and eventually settled in Sequim, Washington.
Aggie was a strong and beloved family matriarch. She enjoyed cooking and sewing, and spent countless hours crafting, creating beautiful gifts for family and friends. She loved spending time with her family and being there for the special events in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a feisty sense-of-humor, an infectious laugh, a love for anything purple, and a generous spirit. Above all, Aggie loved Christ. She held tightly to her faith throughout her health battles, until her passing day.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her two brothers, George and Grant Laiblin, and her youngest son, Robert A. Countryman.
She is survived by her husband, sons Leslie and Argyll Countryman, six granddaughters, and 22 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at the Sequim Worship Center when the family is able to gather together again.
