EVA IDA JOHANNA SCHOCH (nee BECKER) Suddenly and peacefully on June 19, 2003, Eva passed away at home at the age of 72 after a lengthy illness. Predeceased by her parents, Erich and Margarethe Becker, she leaves to cherish her memory her husband Gunter; her daughters, Sylvia Kuzyk (Glen), Juana Schoch, Simone Oar (Robert) her sons, Clifford Schoch (Flynne) and Christopher Schoch (Arlyss). Omi also leaves behind eight dearly loved grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In Berlin she leaves to mourn her sister Irene Streup (Heribert) and brother-in-law Werner Schoch. Eva was born on August 16, 1930 in Berlin, Germany. As a promising fashion designer, she married her life long love of almost 55 years, Gunter, in Berlin. It was here where they had their first child, Sylvia. Leaving the post-war ruins behind in 1953, they were drawn to the promise of a new life in a new land. Making Winnipeg their home, from a small, struggling family of three, it grew through the years to leave behind a legacy of a much loved and cherished family here today. Each and every one from the eldest to the babes is inherently blessed with a spark of life from this remarkable, loving and beautiful soul. A service and celebration of Evas life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 26 at Mission Baptist Church, 771 Sargent Ave. in Winnipeg, followed by a reception in the Church. Interment to follow at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens, 4477 Main St., West St. Paul. Rev. Eberhard Hees officiating. LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements. 775-2220
