Eveline lived an amazing 107 years and was adored by everyone, an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life. She lived in West Saint John until her 96th year and was an active and devout member of Our Lady of Assumption Parish. Eveline was known for her angel spirit, a happy person who loved people and had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She was always up for a walk, a game of cards or visits from friends. She was blessed with good health and a good memory into old age. Since the age of 102 she resided in Rocmaura Nursing Home where, in the face of physical adversity, she endured trials and tribulations with humor and grace.
