She is predeceased by her parents and husband. Ev lived a farming life in childhood, youth and half of her adult life before moving to the city. She adjusted well to professional life working for 2 law firms over an 8 year period. One of her employers described her as the ‘salt-of-the-earth’ in that she was a hard-worker, reliable, loyal, and got along with everyone. Her priority in life was always family and she happiest when having large family get-togethers. The last 20 years of her life was afflicted with illness, but this she accepted without complaint or lack of independent effort. A private celebration of life and internment to follow. Memorial tributes may be made directly to Southwood Hospice.
