She was Secretary-Treasurer of the Manitoba Ten Pin Federation as well as on the Board of Directors for the Bowling Hall of Fame of Manitoba. In 1983, she was awarded the Manitoba Sports Federations Outstanding Volunteer in Sports Award for her tireless efforts in promoting the sport of ten pin bowling. Evelyn worked long and hard for the sport she loved so dearly. She tackled each area of service with honesty, integrity, dedicated enthusiasm and a winning smile. She was very proud to be one of the first women to be inducted into the Bowling Hall of Fame of Manitoba in 1988. Her family was precious to her and her pride and joy were her grandchildren. She was a generous, loving Nana, wife and mother. In spite of her illness and the hardships she endured, she was a strong woman always there to listen and support. She enjoyed her dog, gardening and loved to golf. She will be missed beyond words. The family would like to thank Drs. Fine, Tanner, Henry and Barry, as well as the many nurses at St. Boniface Dialysis Unit and 5B Medicine for the loving care Evelyn was given. Special thanks go to Elaine Schaffer, her home care nurse. She so looked forward to your visits.
