October 31, 1936 – November 2, 2020
The family of Evelyn Matzner sadly announces her passing after a brief & unexpected illness on November 2, 2020 at the age of 84 years. Evelyn is survived by her sons; Robert (Julie) of Leoville, SK, Ross (Tammy) of Martensville, SK, Leo (Francine) of Bonnyville, AB; grandchildren- Stephanie(Kim), Carrie(Eric), Tyrell(Sophie), Jonathan(Candra), Donovan, Haley, Dalton & Brock and 5 great-grandchildren – Claire, Elise, Ben, Declan & Jack; as well as a foster brother Martin McPete & several nieces, nephews and other relatives. She was predeceased by her husband Ervin; her son Kelly; her parents Ernest & Mildred Dutnall of North Battleford, SK; her siblings: Vilda Laing of Saskatoon SK, Roy Dutnall of Saskatoon, SK, and Wesley Dutnall of Calling Lake AB, and several other relatives.
Evelyn was born & raised in North Battleford, SK. She graduated from Saskatoon City Hospital as a Registered Nurse (R.N.) in January 1959. She then married Ervin & moved to the Matzner family farm in the Edward Lake/Penn district where they raised their 4 boys. Besides being a farm-wife & mother, Evelyn was an R.N. for 40 years. She was the Director of Care at Evergreen Health Centre in Leoville Sk for close to 10 of those years. After her retirement, she remained a member of the Leoville Ladies Hospital Auxiliary, until she moved to Saskatoon just a few short years ago. Her retirement from nursing was also spent travelling, gardening, and spending time with family & friends. Her cheerful smile & witty character will be missed by the many people who were blessed to know her. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held in Chitek Lake at a later date (please note: Service details will be announced closer to the date). Interment will follow in the Penn Cemetery. Friends so wishing may make memorial donations to the Penn Cemetery in memory of Evelyn Matzner as tokens of remembrance.
