Evelyn May Jonah
1925-2018
Evelyn May Jonah, 93, of Fundy Royal
Manor, Hillsborough passed away unexpectedly on

Evelyn was born in Albert Mines on September 16, 1925 the
daughter of the late Wilburforce and Daisy (Allen)
Smith. She was a housewife and mother whose main priority in
life was raising her family with love and support. She was a
member of the Hillsborough Baptist Church and sang
in the church choir and also with the Silver Chords Choir.
Evelyn was very active and loved having fun. She was a
member of the Hillsborough Mixed Bowling League for
years. Evelyn loved drives through Albert County and going
to the camp. She was very fortunate to be able to get around
in her senior years and still have her mobility. She passed
her love of music down to her children and was happiest listening to
her children and their friends play guitar and sing. She was
a great mother and grandmother who has left a legacy of not only love
but determination. She will live on in the hearts of her
family forever.
She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Joanne
“Joey” Price (Tom) and son, Danny Jonah (Nancy) both
of Hillsborough; son-in-law, Gerard Steeves of
Riverside-Albert; her cherished grandchildren, Jimmy, Terry,
Kelly, Troy, Dawn, Kim, Leanne and Chris and her precious 11 great
grandchildren; sister Margaret Pitcher (Lorne) of Carson, AB; brother,
Max Smith of Riverview. She will also be missed by

Royal.
