Mom’s proudest accomplishment are her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, she enjoyed each and everyone as a special individual. Eva was very proud of the home they created for their family in Moose Jaw, in which they lived for 38 years. Christmas was a special time for Mom, she especially loved creating her Christmas village and that tradition lives on in her family. Later they resided at the cabin, which they built together, located at Buffalo Pound Lake. They traveled to Mesa, Arizona for 17 years where they made many, many good friends. It was in Mesa that she had the time to pursue her great love and talent of oil painting. In 1999 they moved to Lloydminster. After Dad’s passing, Mom resided at the Dr. Hemstock Assisted Living, where she again made many good friends. Thank you to her many friends at the Hemstock for the countless hours of laughs and companionship. The family would like to thank the 3rd floor staff and Transition Unit at the Lloydminster Hospital for the outstanding care and kindness that was provided to Eva and her family. Thank you to Dr. Kostic, Dr, Singh, Dr. Sayeed and Dr. Chan. A special thank you to the Hemstock staff for the kindness shown to her during her stay there.
