BEVAN, Edith “Lu”

BEVAN, Edith “Lu” 1926 – 2025 Leslie, Bruce and Sandre are saddened to announce the passing of their Mom, Luellen “Lu” Bevan, on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at the age of 99 years. We are grateful that she is now at peace. Mom was born on April 28, 1926 in Banff, Alberta to Jack and Nellie Martin. She was the youngest of four children and spent an idyllic childhood hiking, riding her bike and just being in nature, something she enjoyed throughout her life. After graduating from high school Mom went to Winnipeg, Manitoba to receive her Teaching Degree and spent several years teaching Home Economics in Dauphin, Manitoba. She was a loving mother to her four children and found great joy in growing beautiful flowers in her garden. At the age of 80, she hiked 18 km with her children to visit Luellen Lake in Banff National Park. The lake was named after her the year that she was born. She was predeceased by her youngest son, Gordon; her parents; her brother, Ted and her sisters, Grace and Muriel. She is survived by her three children, Leslie (Garry), Bruce (Charlene), Sandre and her daughter in law Pat. She leaves behind four grandchildren, Ed (Chantele), Eric (Kirstie), Alyssa (Brody), and Carly (Kaden); along with five great-grandchildren, Sierra, Haylie, Hayden, Bennett and Alexis as well as a new great-grandchild due this year. The family will have a private celebration of life in Banff in the spring. If desired, in honour of Lu, the family would be grateful if you would consider making a donation to your local food bank.
