EVELYN EMILY JOHNSON July 2, 1910 - April 16, 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Evelyn Emily Johnson (Davis) in Grace Hospital in Winnipeg on Monday, April 16, 2007. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband Eilert in 1983 and by brother Roland and sister Gladys. She leaves to mourn her son Earl, daughter Vivian Unger (Bruce), grandchildren, Tim Unger of Calgary, Gwen Debler (Brent) of Beechy, SK, Angela Zabalotney (Corey) of Medicine Hat, and great-grandchildren, Terrence, Simone, Dallas and Sidney. Also left to mourn are her siblings: Edna O'Byrne of Arborfield, SK; Herb Davis (Myrtle) of Saskatoon; Kay Dolsen (Erle) of Greenwood, NS and Marie Jones (Lloyd) of Saskatoon. Evelyn was born in Brandon, Manitoba on July 2, 1910. She was the second of seven children born to Mabel and Frank Davis who later moved to Saskatchewan. Evelyn received most of her education in Hawarden, and then went on to Normal School in Regina after which she taught school for a number of years. While teaching at Waterside school near Demaine she met her future husband Eilert. They farmed there until retiring in 1967 when they moved to Saskatoon. Eilert passed away in 1983 and in 2004 Evelyn moved to Winnipeg to live with her son. You will be sadly missed along life's way Quietly remembered day by day Those we love don't go away You will be with us each and every day No longer in our lives to share But in our hearts forever there. We love you Mom, Vivian and Earl Funeral services are from Saskatoon Funeral Home on Friday, April 20, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. with interment at Waterside Cemetery, Demaine, SK.
