Much loved wife of 44 years to Harry Agar. Cherished Mom of Matt and his wife Becky of Thunder Bay, and Tamara Hopkins and her husband Ian of Barrie. Adored Grandma of Emily, Riley, and Jasper.

Loved sister of Dan Brick and his wife Roberta and Kelly Brick. Predeceased by her brothers Gil and Gary as well as her parents Bette and Chuck Brick.

Tani will be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, their families, all those who considered her a second mom/grandma, and her many treasured friends. Tani devoted the last two and a half years to researching and adhering to alternative breast cancer treatment options. She showed determination and perseverance to live with this diagnosis in her own way. She enjoyed two years of optimal health before declining rapidly in her final two months.

Tani always felt her true purpose was being a mother. While fulfilling this role, she also worked for many years as the Décor Studio Office Manager for Tribute Communities. Tani devoted her life to her husband, children, and grandchildren. She was happiest when caring for her family, laughing with friends, and playing with her grandchildren. Tani will be remembered for her determination, positive outlook, kindness, and care towards all.

The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa in her final few days for their caring and compassionate help through such trying times. They also want to thank all the naturopathic specialists that walked the journey with Tani.
