Obituary for Eva Caners

On Sunday, Dec 5,2021 at 6:40 pm with family at her side, Eva Marie Therese Caners (nee Gauthier) received her wings and joined our Father in Heaven.

Mom was predeceased by her husband Robert, her Mother Aurore and Father Arthur Gauthier, and her brother-in-law Glen Swar (Helene). She is survived by her children Angele, Marc (Tammy), Clifford (Kathryn), Lisa, and Valerie (James). As much as she loved her children, there was no greater joy than her grandchildren Sara, Tara, Jennifer & Mercedes, Tavia, Ethan, Elizabeth, Tia, Jocelyn, Bianca and great grandchildren Johnathan, Carter, Amariea and Jameson. Mom also leaves behind numerous nieces, and nephews as well her sisters Emma Fontaine (Gilbert), Leona Fontaine, Helene Swar, brothers Emile Gauthier (Caroline), Leo Gauthier (Stella) and Rene Gauthier

Mom was born in Fisher Branch, Mb June 22,1950.

Raised in a humble home she started her working career for the phone service as a switch board operator. At a young age she was courted by Dad, and although he won her heart quick, her parents were another thing!
Mom worked tirelessly raising her young family and then eventually joined dad in their family business in Arborg running the office and doing “the books” for Caners Garage.

Fate would bring them together and no one would separate them until dad’s passing in 2018.

Mom was a loving soul, always a big smile, warm cup of coffee and entertaining conversation for any and all who walked through her door. Many a night of overflowing kitchens with family or friends over for dinners, a houseful over Christmas, or Farm trips on weekends for sleepovers, music, song and dance in Fisher Branch were common occurrences. Mom had a hand in creating memories of what Family should be and is for all of us today. Always inviting, accepting and loving unconditionally and without judgement - unless you beat her at cribbage - then the fiery French woman would come out, and she could mess with the strongest of character!
Mom loved Dad. They did everything together! Camping was a shared passion and they enjoyed this for many, many years. Retirement meant extra time in the camper at Hnausa visiting with anyone within proximity of their camper.

Mom you have set the bar high for all of us to strive for and we will all do our best to honour your legacy!
Rest In Peace Mom, You are Loved beyond measure! Until we meet again!

Due to Covid restrictions a private family service will be held on Saturday Dec 11, 2021 with a Celebration of her Life to be held on the weekend before her birthday, June 18, 2022
