In Loving Memory Of
Evelyn Haugland
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Evelyn Haugland (Rode), nee Steinke on Sunday, August 2, 2020, at the QEII Hospital in Grande Prairie, AB, at the age of 92 years.
Evelyn was born on June 6, 1928, to Gustav and Mary Steinke and they resided in the North Kleskun area outside of smith, AB. On December 22, 1948, Evelyn married Leonard Rode and they had almost forty-eight years together. From this union, a daughter, Carolyn, was born.
Evelyn worked most of her years at the Royal Bank in smith and finally retired in Vernon, BC. In 1996, due to Len’s health, they moved back to Grande Prairie, but he passed away in November of that year.
