EVA
MOON
Peacefully, after a short illness,
on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, Eva Moon passed away at Charleswood Care Centre at
the age of 96 years.
Eva is lovingly remembered by sons
Allan (Barbara) and David (Roberta); grandchildren Heather Moon, Steven Moon,
Joanne Etherington, Christine Ruzycki and Robyn Moon; as well as six great
grandchildren Alyssa, Dylan and Katie Moon, Cole and Justine Etherington and
Hannah Ruzycki.
Born Sept 29, 1917 at Pucklechurch,
England, Eva immigrated to Winnipeg at age 11. She attended Bannatyne
School, followed by Dominion Business College. While working sales at Eaton’s,
Eva met Ewart Moon. They were married in 1940, at St. Andrews Church,
then on Wallesay Street. Their first son, Allan was born in 1942, followed
by David in 1946. The family spent many happy summers camping, before
building their Betula Lake cabin in 1957. This cabin remains in the
family and has been much enjoyed by all the generations.
Eva was proud to be a lifetime
member of St. Andrews Women's Auxiliary and Grace Hospital Auxiliary.
She also worked in the St. James Civic Offices during Census and
Election years. Nineteen wonderful winter holidays were spent in Hawaii with
family and friends. Eva and Ewart were married for 64 years, at the time
of Ewart's passing in 2004.
Mum was the rock of our family, and
her loss will be felt every day. Her children, grand and
great-grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy, and we all loved her
dearly.
Eva’s Funeral Service will be held
on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. in St. Andrews Anglican Church, 2700
Portage Avenue.
The family would like to extend
their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Charleswood Care Centre for their
excellent care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations would
be welcomed at Grace Hospital Foundation, 300 Booth Drive, Winnipeg, MB R3J
