Ev was pre-deceased by her parents Jack and Jean McKay and son-in-law Lawrence Paton.
Mom lived her whole life in Winnipeg and 69 of those years were spent in St. Vital. She was a stay at home Mother who was involved in many community activities including Norberry Community Club and Saint Vital United Church. Her true joy in life was travelling with our Dad. They wintered for 17 years in San Antonio Texas, and enjoyed many holidays to Barbados and the UK. Mom also enjoyed meeting friends for coffee at the Jolly Mug, and never turned down a chance to go out for lunch or supper. She loved spending time in their backyard, tending to her flowers and visiting with neighbors. Our mom and dad were blessed to have been married for 70 wonderful years, and they could often be seen holding hands while on a walk.
Mom, you are so loved and will be missed dearly. We will be having a toast to you with a glass of Coke!
Donations can be made in Ev’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald St., Winnipeg Manitoba R3C 4G2
A private family graveside is planned and she will be laid to rest in St. Vital Cemetery, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
