Evelyn Trelenberg

Evelyn Trelenberg, 94 years old, went home to be with her Lord on Sunday, February 28, 2016 at Eden Care Centre, with family by her side. She was born on November 10, 1921 in Russia. Her family arrived in Quebec in 1928 and journeyed to Alberta and lived there until 1954. Then she and her husband, Ewalt, and two children relocated to BC. Two years later another child was added to the family. Life was not easy for Evelyn. She was a hard worker and provided for her family as her husband had lost his sight. She has been a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and had longed for the day He would take her home.
