Mrs. Eva Michaluk, wife of the late Metro Michaluk of Kelvindell Lodge, formerly of Preeceville and the Sturgis district passed away on Monday April 17, 2023. She was 97 years of age.
Eva was born February 1, 1926 in the Sturgis District. She attended Ajax School from Grades 1 to 3, then went to work on neighbouring farms and moved away to work at different jobs, until she met Metro Michaluk years later. They were married at the family farm of Metro’s parents on November 6, 1948. They raised 4 children: David, Diane, Dale, and Daryl.
Eva loved the farm life – everything from working out on the land, to her home cooked meals and gardening. Along with all of these things she always had time to spend with her children. There was always a meal prepared for the family at special occasions and holidays which she loved to do.
Eva was a caring, considerate, and loving person to everyone she met and always had a smile on her face. Even the last few years of her life she would have a funny saying that made us all laugh with her. Eva enjoyed playing cards, gardening, planting flowers, and visiting with her children and grandkids whenever she had a chance. When she lived in Preeceville she always had special friends that would stop by and visit for coffee or tea, and she really enjoyed these visits.
Eva is predeceased by her husband Metro, sons David and Dale, her brothers Steve, George, Harry, Alex, John and Willy, her sisters Rose and Dora, and bother in law August Peniuk.
Eva is survived by her sister Annette and sister-in-law Ann Chernowsky, sister-in-law Lena Peniuk, sister-in-law Sylvia ( Bob) Clarke, bother-in-law Fred ( Lynn) Michaluk. Daughter-in-law Barb ( David) Michaluk, daughter Diane Mollinga, her son Daryl (Melissa) Michaluk. Grandchildren Melissa (Tim) Nimchuk, Brandy (Mike) Unger, Mandy Mollinga, Jennifer (Justin) Bassingthwaite, Whitney Michaluk, Justine Michaluk. Great-grandchildren Michyla, Mathew, Mackenzie, Ally, Ella, Blake, Evan, Brodie and Averie.
The family would like to thank the Kelvindell Lodge and Staff for the loving care they provided for Eva while she was there for the past 2 ½ years.
