She leaves to cherish her memory, her children Jocelyn (Harold) Froese, Roland (Jan) Diehl and Clayton (Eddy) Diehl; grandchildren Kevin (Marilou), Aaron, Colin (Nicole), Jennifer (Dave), Ava, Carl (Michelle), Meghan (Craig), Ryan (Danielle), Katie and one great- grandchild, Celine. She was predeceased by her parents Conrad and Ida Annell, brothers Carl, Conrad Jr. and Niels. Surviving family members are Irene Quammen, Marjorie (Ernie) Giese, Lillian (Buddy) Mohler, Janice (Ray) Dunn, Esther (Ken) Haskell, Ellen Foster (Henry Bieberdorf) and Marvin (Vivian) Annell, many nieces, nephews and extended family. Elvina was born in Palermo, North Dakota on December 6, 1925 on her mother's birthday. She immigrated to Canada with her family in 1939, to Manitoba where they farmed in the Interlake. She attended school to grade eleven, then went to teach on permit for one year before taking her grade twelve in Teulon, MB and Teachers College (Normal School) in Winnipeg. She taught several years at Cypress Valley School and met her husband Walter Diehl at that time. They were married July 14, 1952 and farmed in the area until they retired in 1980. They moved to Cranbrook BC, then later settled in ranching country at Bowden, Alberta. Predeceased by her husband Walter in January, 2002, she continued to live in her home for almost ten years until she was admitted to Innisfail hospital in October, 2011. Mom had a strong faith, attending Evangelical Missionary Church in Bowden in recent years as her health allowed. According to Elvina's wishes, cremation has taken place and ash interment will follow at a later time at Brookdale Cemetery, Holland, MB. Donations in Elvina's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to a charity of your choice.
