July 22, 1951 - May 16, 2023
In loving memory ~
Ev passed peacefully after a lifelong struggle with her health. The final straw was two small strokes which caused the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia. Tim, her husband of 41 years (51 together) was with her at the end. Ev was born in Port Alberni and except for a few short times lived here her whole life. She loved the valley and Sproat Lake where she grew up. Evelyn leaves behind some cousins, nieces and nephews and a lot of friends and others she touched with her person or her art. Ev was an artist and worked in many media and styles. She did everything from fine art to cartoons to illustrating magazines to designing T-shirts to specialty cards and even designing tattoos. Ev also apprenticed as a sign painter. Her imagination and skill in art will be missed. I would like to thank the nurses and care aids in WCGH, Dr. DePape, the care aids and nurses for homecare and the paramedics and firemen who were so careful when we moved her. A memorial will be held at a later date.
