EVELYN ESTELLE YORKE (nee PRITCHARD) August 14, 1929 - April 13, 2004 It is with heavy hearts and a sense of peace that we announce the passing of our wife, mother and grandmother, Evelyn at the St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 74 years. Evelyn is survived by her husband Ron; loving children, Ted (Lynn), Brent (Wendy), Joy (Randy) Sheldon and Earle; beloved grandchildren, Jill, Sam, Ashley, Amanda, Cora, Jordyn and Rydan; sisters, Ernestine (Nin) Adams, Jeanne LaBossiere and Olive Pritchard; brothers, Barney (Diane) and Len (Anna) many adored nieces and nephews; as well as her cherished friends, Winnie and Jeanette (43 years). She was predeceased by her mother Marie Jeanne Josephine Coutu; father Willis Charles Pritchard; her sisters, Mabel (Sis) and Mel; brothers, Chuck, Art and Dick. The family would like to thank Sister Joan Adams O.S.U. (niece) and Sister Joice O.S.U. for their support and compassion throughout the years. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the staff of the St. Boniface Hospital, in particular the nurses of 4A South that helped to ensure that she was as comfortable as possible in her final days. In accordance with her wishes, Mom has been cremated and a private celebration of her life has been held. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, a donation of your time to a worthy cause would be appreciated. "...the joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you." Wojciks All Beliefs & Faiths Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 897-4665.
