In Loving Memory of
Eva Buck (nee Capostinsky)
March 9, 1931 to December 26, 2019
Our
Mother, Grandma and Great Grandma, Eva (88 years) passed away peacefully on December
26th, 2019 at Dr Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater. Her
caring heart and compassionate way of “putting others first” remain a legacy to
those of us who were privileged to know and love her.
Eva was
born in Granada, Alberta on March 9, 1931 – the 16th child of Mary
(nee Trihub) and Abraham Capostinsky. She had 9 brothers and 6 sisters. In the
early 1950’s she met and married Dad, Ed Buck, her best friend, co-worker,
husband of 58 years and father to their five children: Barry, Bev, Brent, Lyle
and Carolyn. Thanks to Mom, our family
home was always filled with wonderful smells of food, the sound of laughter and
storytelling and photos posted on every available surface! She demonstrated her
love practically through nurturing, teaching and generous giving. Known for her
roasters filled with cabbage rolls, perogies, delicious soups, turkey dinners
and fresh bread and buns – visitors, whether family or friends, never left hungry
or empty-handed. We will cherish the memories of her ability to make people
laugh through her colourful sense of humour!
Eva is
survived by her children, grand & great grandchildren:
Barry (Hettie) Buck, Joshua (Krista) and children Ava,
Adrian, Ashton, Ryder & Hunter Buck, Justice (Tammy) and
children True, Sienna & Tristan Buck, Jeremy (Rossana), Jadessa (Gary)
and Vivienne Olson; Bev, Kyler
(Sylvia) and daughters Sarah, Laura, Christina, Rebekah & Hannah
Miller, Derek (Chelsea) Miller; Brent (Tracy) Buck, Wynter (Chris) and
Storm & Symphony Oakes; Lyle, Gregory (Gabrielle) and Mateo
Buck, Kerry (Jon) Lefebvre; Carolyn (Dario) and Angelo,
Giordano & Talia Corlazzoli; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended
relatives.

is predeceased by: parents Abraham and Mary Capostinsky, brothers Frank, John,
Paul, Sam, Andrew, Phillip, Stephen, Harry & James; sisters Mary, Lydia,
Lena, Anna, Sadie & Phyllis; loving husband Ed (2010); grandson and wife
and great-grandson Skye, Courtney and Baby Boy Buck (2012); and some nieces,
