Obituary for Evelyn Jean Dew (Napper)
EVELYN JEAN DEW
AUGUST 1, 1921 – MAY 7, 2021
Peacefully, in her sleep, Evelyn passed away in the early morning hours of May 7th, 2021, just three months shy of her 100th birthday, while residing at Betel Personal Care Home in Selkirk, MB. She was predeceased by her parents, William and Myrtle Napper, husband Cecil, son Wayne, brother Alvin and many brothers and sisters-in-law.
Evelyn will be lovingly remembered by her son Lyle (Karen); daughter Myrna (Ken); daughter in law Marilyn; sister Marion; grandchildren Murray (Trudy), Doug, Michelle (Darcy), Keri (Justin), Brett (Cora), Tammy (Chuck), Tonya, Terri (Justin), and Taylor. Also cherishing her memory are her thirteen great grandchildren!
Mom was born in a little farmhouse in Foxwarren, MB. As a child, her family lived on farms in the Binscarth, Tilston, and Lake Francis areas. She married Dad, Cecil, on June 23rd, 1942 and lived on the farm until 1949 when they moved in the Village of Woodlands. In 1964 they made their final move to Stonewall, where they spent the next 55 years.
Mom was a child of the 1930’s, the depression years. She spoke of not seeing a garden mature until she was fourteen years old, grasshoppers and drought. She would tell stories about picking sheep’s wool off the barbed wire fence and her Dad selling if for two cents a pound. Evelyn loved curling, old time music, fiddling, and especially dancing with our Dad. She loved her kids and her grandkids, and rarely missed any of their sporting events. One of the highlights of Mom’s life was when she took a trip, at the age of 89, to Hawaii and then on to Australia to meet her first great-grandchild.
Special thanks to Taylor from Betel Home who went above and beyond in keeping Mom’s spirts up. Our family is forever grateful for your compassion and your passionate ability to make Mom laugh.
Evelyn was a life member of the Stonewall Curling Club and a multi-decade member of the Stonewall Legion.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations can be made to the Stonewall Legion.
A private family celebration of Evelyn’s life will take place at a later date.
We are comforted to think that Mom is now dancing her feet off with our Dad. Bye, bye for now.
