 Evelyn Charlotte LaForge 1916~2010 Peacefully on August 29, 2010 Evelyn Charlotte LaForge went home to be with her Lord and Saviour. Evelyn was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother, aunt, and friend. She was a life-long Bible student, gifted artist, lover of books and music. For more than 60 years as a faithful member of the Tupper Church of the Nazarene, she held many church offices and played piano. Mourning her passing are: her immediate family, her children, Sharon (Alan) Moi; Carol (Russ) Airhart; Clint (Cindy) LaForge; Bill (Kate) LaForge; Julie (Bart )Johnson; her grandchildren, Arthur (Olene) Moi, Jim (Barb) Moi, Lindsay Airhart, Jeff LaForge, Brett LaForge, Tyler LaForge, Jarrett Johnson, Casey Johnson and Mike Johnson; her great grandchildren Aurora Airhart, Meaghan, Reighann, Abby, AJ and Austyn Moi and her great -great grandchild Micha Moi. She will also be missed by her six remaining sisters and their families, her two sisters-in law, her brother-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews. Evelyn was born at Didsbury, Alberta in 1916 to Wilfred and Mayme Merner. She lived in Wetaskiwin and attended Canadian Nazarene College in Red Deer. She married James LaForge in 1944, and moved to Tupper, British Columbia where she spent over 60 years near the shores of Swan Lake. Evelyn’s life was a journey of faith based on Bible principles. She talked openly about her spiritual foundation and her personal relationship with God and most importantly she lived what she spoke. Her family and friends knew her to be loving, caring and generous. For the last four years, Evelyn was surrounded by a loving and supportive community in Assisted Living at Southview and Northview, Dawson Creek Hospital, and at Rotary Manor Palliative Care. The family wishes to thank the various staff members and administrators who allowed her to live independently, cared for her when she became ill and then provided a beautiful environment for her in Palliative Care. Her last months were peaceful and she was comforted by her “nurses” who loved her and assisted her to leave this life with dignity. The family extends a special thank you to Dr. Steve Ashwell who provided tender loving care for our mother. A memorial service was held on Friday, September 3, 2010 at the Alliance Church, Dawson Creek, British Columbia with Pastor Ruth Czerniak officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to ‘South Peace Hospice Palliative Care Society,’ Room 101, 816-103 Ave. Dawson Creek, British Columbia V1G 2G1 or the ‘Tupper Church of the Nazarene’ P.O. Box 601, Dawson Creek, British Columbia V1G 4H4, in memory of Evelyn LaForge. |
