Evelyn was loved and welcomed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Evelyn loved spending her summer days sitting in the garage with Howard and their precious Teeka. In the winter you could find her cuddled up beside the wood stove knitting beautiful blankets to give away to family and friends. She loved spending time with her family and always let each of them know how truly loved they all were.

She is survived by her loving husband, Howard; her mother, Amelia; son, Adrian (Kim) McDonald, Cole Harbour; siblings, Allen (Pam) McDonald, Cole Harbour, Theresa (Gord) Mullins, Gaultois, NL, Suzanne (Kevin) Ablett, Cole Harbour, Amy (Angus) McDonald, St. John’s, NL, Tammy (Jeremy) Maye, Seal Cove, NL, Delores (Carl) Hunt, Orillia, Ont., Adam McDonald, Gaultois, NL; grandchildren, Haileigh, Nathanyel, Matthew and Audrey; great granddaughter, Amelia. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews who will miss her terribly.

The family would like to send special thanks to the Palliative Care Unit at the Colchester East Hants Health Centre.
