She was predeceased by her husband George in 1994; parents, Mark and Mary Harrison; brothers, Mike, Tom and Fred. She leaves to mourn her son Brian (Michelle), grandsons, Milan and Taryn; son Mark (Anita), grandsons, Aaron, Luke and Travis; brother Ozie (Betty) and sister Dora, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Mother was born November 29, 1919 in East Selkirk, MB and spent her early years growing up on the family farm. Eva married her husband George in June of 1942 and worked together on their own farm in Walkleyburg until retirement in 1978 where upon they moved into Selkirk. Some of Mothers favourite times were spent gardening, baking, visiting with family and friends and enjoying a good game of cards with the girls at the Selkirk Knights Centre. She had a quick wit and was never shy when it come to pitching in to help out whenever someone needed a hand. Mother dearly loved her five grandsons and especially enjoyed when they came to visit so that she could bake for them. The grandsons brought a special glow and purpose to her later years - she loved to be with them. Mother we will all miss you.

Cremation will follow and interment will take place at a later date. Pallbearers will be Ken, David and Dennis Harrison, Bruce Boyko, Fred Peters and Don Gowryluk. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Eva may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. Mother You can only have one mother, Loving, kind and true, No other friend in all the world Will be so true to you. For all her love and kindness She asked nothing in return If all the world deserted us To our Mother we could turn For those of you who have a mother Treasure her with care, For you will never know her value Til you see that shes not there. To hear her voice To see her smile To sit and talk with her awhile To be together in the same old way Would be our dearest wish today. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
