Evans, Louise:

Passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 24th, 2019 at Parkwood Mennonite Home at the age of 86.
Beloved wife of the late Gordon Evans (1979).
Loving mother of Ruth Anne (Andy) Joseph and Linda (Peter) McLellan.

Will be remembered by many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by her parents, Loril and Pearl Butson, and her siblings, Harris, Frank and Madeline.

Louise was born on the family farm outside of Mitchell. She pursued a career in nursing, both in Calgary and London, until she married Gordon in 1960 and moved to a farm outside of St. Mary's. Louise was a faithful churchgoer and was involved in the church all her life. In 2005, she moved to Kitchener to be closer to her family, especially her grandchildren. In her spare time, she enjoyed sitting down with a good book.
