EVERITT: Edith “Ede” Everitt of Newdale Manitoba, passed away at the Southwood Care Centre, Calgary, AB on March 6, 2013. She was born Edith Mary Elizabeth Tebb in Gerald, Saskatchewan, on February 14, 1920, the 7th of 14 children. Ede married Roy Kenneth Everitt, October 4, 1941 and the young couple spent the balance of the War in Kingston, Ontario: Roy in the army; Ede employing her sewing skills making parachutes, uniforms and other equipment. After the War, they returned to the Everitt family farm in Newdale, Manitoba, where Ede became part of the farming community, sharing Roy’s passion for the land and helping run the farm while raising four daughters. Ede learned the art of sewing from her mother at a young age; skills and talents she later bestowed in her daughters. She was renown for crafting her own wardrobe, clothing for family members, and her quilts – many which became cherished gifts to family and friends. Ede was an avid reader; loved poetry and had a passion for travel that took she and Roy to the Caribbean, Europe, Egypt, Latin America and throughout North America. In 1999, after Roy's death, Ede moved to Calgary Alberta to be near her daughters. Ede is predeceased by her husband, parents, seven brothers, and six sisters. She is survived by daughters Carole Wilson (Woodstock ON), Donna Hazelton (Digby NS), Sharon Milner (Calgary AB), and Brenda Everitt (Calgary AB), eight grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Funeral service was held at the Strathclair United Church, Strathclair, MB, on March 11, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. with the interment following in the Strathclair Cemetery. Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Minnedosa Funeral Services, Minnedosa, MB. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
