CHALMERS,
Evelyn
Frances (née
HEIDAHL)
(July 2, 1913-July 28, 2005)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Evelyn
in Ottawa, widow of loving husband Frederick William
CHALMERS.
For more than 90 years her life shone like a beacon as an inspiration
to family and Friends alike. She was strong, yet sweet, gentle
and generous. Her mind was as clear as her North Sea blue eyes.
Her warmth, intelligence and flashing wit were the essence of
her personality.
She was kind. Throughout her life, she devoted herself to service
to others through membership in the Lady Aberdeen League in Edmonton,
church groups and Goodwill in Toronto. Her greatest energies
over the years were always focused on her family.
She is survived and mourned by her children, Dennis and Kate
CHALMERS, Frances (Lassie) and Howie
WILSON, Barb and Joe
IZZIO
her grandchildren, Heather and Glen
KELLY,

CHALMERS, Gordon

Bob BAXTER; sisters-in-law Dorothy
CHALMERS and Win

cousins Karen and Don
OGSTON; special Friends Lorne
LEIGHTON,
Elinor MURPHY, and Paul and Christine
CLARK.
Dennis said "I hope that Lass, Barb and I, our children and grandchildren,
all have the good fortune to live the remainder of our lives
with the wit, courage, grace and good nature that Mother demonstrated
so admirably."
A family celebration of her life will be held in the fall.
