Eaton Co. for forty years, in the downtown records and instrument department. She ended her time at Eatons Polo Park in the linen department. Evelyn enjoyed traveling. Her gambling trips, and the good friends that she made on her many visits to Hawaii were highlights in her life. She treasured the relationships with the many good neighbors in her block. Aunt Evelyn was a great lady, outgoing and fun. She loved her great-niece and nephews, and their children. She thought they were "beautiful" and viewed them as "perfect". All families should have an Aunt Evelyn. At Evelyns request, there will be no funeral service. In her memory, please phone a friend, go for coffee and remember the good times. The family would like to thank Dr. Hugh Taylor and Dr. Luis for their care and compassion; to the staff at St. Boniface 7A West, the I.C.U. staff, also to Dr. Doermer and the nursing staff at Concordia. Arrangements entrusted to Klassen Funeral Chapel, 338-0331.
