Eva grew up in Listowel and worked at Bell as an operator when she met her Bobby at a dance at Parkview Gardens. She was a true matriarch to our large family. She was loving and kind, and she raised her children to be the same. She was an incredible seamstress, enjoyed crocheting, and made many quilts. She enjoyed many years of good friends, and great travel, and she loved life.
