Chantal Évangeline “Eva” Deveau

DEVEAU (BABIN), Chantal Évangeline “Eva”
Born January 20, 1920.
Daughters, Dianne (Donnie) Nickerson, Argyle, Simone (Phillip) Cooper, Antigonish, and Joan (The Late Gerald) Tufts, Meteghan, are saddened to inform you their mother has passed away peacefully after a short illness.
Eva, 99 years and 11 months, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 9, 2020 in Yarmouth Regional Hospital surrounded by family and caring staff.
A daughter of the late Jim and Rose Anne (Comeau) Babin, she was the last living sibling. Besides her daughters, she will be remembered fondly by her 7 grandchildren, Yvelle (Timmy) Tufts-Comeau, Liette (David) Deveau, Adrien (Monique) Tufts, Melanie (Dave) Telka, Lana (Colin) Boyd, Meghan (Joel) Nickerson, and Devin (Amy) Nickerson; 10 great-grandchildren and 1 great great-granddaughter.
Also grieving are a large number of nieces and nephews and her extended family at Foyer Celeste.
We will always remember our mom who inspired us by making our world a better place with her perseverance, wisdom, compassion and faith.
As a teacher, in the one room school house in Briar Lake, she continued to share knowledge, coach, encourage, counsel, and make us believers in dreams.
In her later days at Foyer Celeste, you would never find her without her rosary in hand, reminding us to pray for others less fortunate than us.
Our mom joins our father, her loving husband, Eddie Deveau, in heaven along with three children who passed away shortly after birth as well as her son-in- law, Gerald Tufts.
She was predeceased by her brothers, Joseph and Fred Babin; sisters, Beatrice and Sr. Estelle Babin (Petite Soeur de La Sainte Famille), Evelyn Penney and Clara Saulnier.
A special thank you to the staff at Foyer Celeste for the excellent care our mom received and to the doctors, Lionel d’Entremont and Gisèle Dugas, for all the years you looked after our mom’s health care.
Thank You to all the staff and physicians of 4 East for the excellent care given to our mother and to the Ukeladies for honoring her only wish with the gift of music.
