Evilena Irene Kendrick, 82, of Forest Dale Home passed away
on December 2nd, 2022 at the home with her family by her
side.
Evilena was born in Riverside on January 21, 1940 the
daughter of the late Milo and Irene (Campbell)
Beaman.
Evilena’s first priority was raising her family
then she joined the workforce. She had
many jobs over the years working at Blue Cross, Elderkin’s Care Home
and worked as a flagger for a few different construction
companies. She was a faithful member of the Holy Ghost
Catholic Church and sang in the choir for years. She had a
special place in her heart for animals, especially her
cats. She loved music of all kinds and even liked
the newest popular music today. She loved to have fun and
enjoyed dancing and being around people. She enjoyed
shopping and looked forward to all the outings with the
girls. She would go weekly to the Swamp Donkey for Karaoke
and most recently went to the Hillsborough Legion, she enjoyed this
immensely. In her later years she took up quilting and she
was very detail oriented and did an amazing
job.
Evilena was not a flashy kind of woman but she enjoyed the
simple things in life. She was there for her family and made
many memories over the years that they will treasure and have a few
laughs over. She had a great sense of humour and didn’t take
herself too seriously. She would want everyone to remember a
fun time they had together. Her little laugh and that grin
will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. She
has left a legacy of love that will always be with us.
“Forever in our hearts”
She will be deeply missed by her children, Danny Kendrick
(Nancy) of Weldon, Darren Kendrick of Beaverbrook, Janey Cameron
(Danny) of Riverside-Albert and Paul Kendrick (Melinda) of
