EVA MEDD

EVA MEDD November 24, 1945 ~ December 16, 2022
Eva Medd passed away peacefully at the Sunnyside Nursing Home in Medicine Hat on Friday, December 16, 2022, at the age of 77 years. Eva’s memory will be forever cherished in the hearts of her daughter, Patricia Lewendon (partner, Josh) and son, Romanoff (wife, Jacky) Martin; grandchildren, Jasmin (Josh) Talley and their children, McKenna, Kinsley, Carter and Meadow; Jodi (Jordan), Bobbie (Kali), Jurnee (Zach), Rodney and Micheal Martin; three brothers, two sisters and their spouses as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Eva will be greatly missed but never forgotten by her family, the friends in her “family of the heart”, including her dear friends, Nick and Rita, and the many other people who’s lives she touched. Eva was born in Germany and moved to Canada as a young mother with her two children in the 60’s. She settled in Medicine Hat where Eva worked hard to build a home and a well-lived life for herself and her children. Hard work and troubling times never daunted Eva for long. She always rose above, even if it took a little time. Her life-long love of learning and quick mind served her well, as Eva taught herself to read and speak English by doing word puzzles and reading novels. Eva was intrepid, loved adventure, and took any opportunity to travel from polar bear watching in Churchill, Manitoba to numerous trips to the coast of British Columbia. Given the choice, Eva would always be outdoors rather than inside, enjoying nature, watching the river flow by, feeding the deer, communing with hummingbirds or sitting having a coffee and a good chat. Her warmth and kindness, her big generous heart, her fun loving and mischievous nature, always drew people to her. Eva was always happiest when taking care of and helping others; she always put the needs of others before her own. She loved to cook and feed people, the more the merrier; her door was always open. Eva’s greatest joy was spending time with her family, playing cards, laughing and loving together. It is impossible to capture all the wonderful complexities of our mother in words as we will always hold her in our hearts. The family would like to thank South Country Village and particularly the nurses and staff at Havenview for the care, kindness and friendship they showed Eva in her last years – they made it a home, not just the place she lived. A time of visitation will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat, on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is
