Eva Gertrude Marcoux

Eva is lovingly remembered by her children Heather Marcoux, Val Marcoux, Sharon (Brian) Harvey, Gerard (Jina) Marcoux, James (Carmen) Marcoux, Robert (Debbie) Marcoux, 21 grandchildren and spouses, and 35 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Vernon, her parents William and Gertrude McDonell, her brothers Leo and Bill and her sisters Loretta and Theresa.

Eva was born March 8, 1925 on her parent’s farm, south of Wartime, SK. She grew up on the McDonell farm near Wartime. After grade twelve, she took a business course in Saskatoon. On completion of that course, she worked in Saskatoon for the federal government.

Eva and Vernon were married July 6, 1946 after Vern’s return from WWII. They lived in Swift Current, SK and then moved to Saskatoon in 1951 where they resided for the remainder of their lives.

Eva was socially outgoing and enjoyed the company of family, relatives and friends. She always looked forward to visits with family, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was proud of all of them.

Eva loved gardening, square dancing, knitting and travelling. Upon retirement, Eva and Vern enjoyed winters in Arizona.

Eva lived her life with integrity, compassion, spirituality, patience and a great sense of humour. She demonstrated her concern for the community with her involvement with the Catholic Women’s League and its mission of serving others, the Friendship Inn, Ecumenical gatherings and Sask Prolife. Her family will always remember her strong Christian faith and prayerful life.

Eva’s strength of character and secure faith in God would help to see her through difficult times.
