They had a home in Streetsville, ON, and finally Manotick, ON, where she lived an active life donating much of her time to her family and as a volunteer contributing many hours to the gradual development of the Manotick Public Library. She enjoyed many happy bridge games with her friends. Eva was involved with activities in the Manotick United Church and the Horticultural Society, but she was mainly a stay at home mum which her family looks back on with gratitude. The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff at Golden Links Lodge and in particular a special thank you to all those in the Special Needs Unit for the compassionate care given to Eva over her five years there.
