EVELYN PEARL GRENNIER

Evelyn Pearl Grennier (nee Woods) passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Friday, Aug. 29, 2014 at Kelowna Hospice House at the age of 79.
She is lovingly remembered by her four children, Sandy, Bradley (Karel), Marilyn, and Penney (Nick) Samsom; 11 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
Evelyn was predeceased by her parents, Henry (Dehlia) Woods; brother, Wilbert; and sister, Ethel.
Evelyn was born in 1935 in Fort Frances, Ont. She married Gerald Grennier in 1952 and settled in Atikokan, Ont., where she raised her four children.
In her younger years, she was active in woman’s softball and bowling.
In 1969, she moved to Kelowna, B.C. and worked for several retailers, including Saan for 10 years, McLeod’s, and 5 Bridges Grocery.
After her retirement, Evelyn took up golfing and darts at the Legion. She also enjoyed her bus trips to casinos with her sister-in-law, Joyce Lalond.
Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren kept her very busy knitting and crocheting, and she loved every minute of it.
Evelyn will be cremated and the family will have a celebration of life service at a later date.
