Obituary
On December 1, 2021, after an unmatched life, our family’s matriarch, Evelyn, passed away at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family. She will be remembered as tough as nails, kind-hearted, and the epitome of class. Evelyn’s door was always open to anyone in need and, as a result, she touched many lives. She enjoyed hot weather, red lipstick, having her hair done, and an occasional glass of wine. She loved her cottage at Blue Sea Lake, where everyone was always welcome. She never forgot a birthday. She was an unwavering Ottawa Sens fan. She treasured talking about her family and tennis with her sister in B.C. and her brother’s stories always made her laugh. She will be terribly missed.
Evelyn was predeceased by her parents, Wilfred and Dorothy, her sister, Bev and her grandson, Ryan. Evelyn is survived by her husband of 72 years, Fred “Pinky” Mitchell. She is also survived by her two siblings, Jack (Janet) and Gail, her three daughters, Dawn (John), Sue (Pete), and Holly, and all of her beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grand-daughter.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jennifer Brodeur, Moe, and Karine for helping us fulfill Evelyn’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, Evelyn would want donations to be made to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, whose expertise gifted her an additional twenty-five years of good health and time with her family.
