EVELYN BERNICE MARMONIER (nee BEAUDRY) July 3, 1932 - July 27, 2003 After a lengthy illness it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Mom was born in Ashern July 3, 1932. She married Gibbie on June 16, 1956. During many years of working on the family farm in Gunton, she had a huge garden and spent many hours canning vegetables and fruit, making jam, the endless baking and her flowerbed. She was always willing to lend a helping hand for the Gunton Hall and the United Church. After her illness she took up her crafts. She enjoyed her day group on Wednesdays, her friends there, and especially the drivers of the handivan. Mom will be greatly missed by her husband Gibbie of 47 years; daughters, Mary Sveinson (Glenn) of Winnipeg and Linda Cook (Doug) of Gunton; sons, Brian (Val), Larry and Glenn, all of Gunton; grandchildren, Leann Sveinson, Rhonda (Jeff S.), Jeff (Ashley), Jolene and Shawn Cook; great-granddaughter Emily. She is survived by sister Margaret Kufus of Ashern; brother Bill (Eileen) of Kelowna, BC; sister Aleida (John) of Ashern, sister Velma Gutknecht of Ashern, and brother-in-law Bill Forbes of Winnipeg, and numerous nieces and nephews.
