EVANS, GLORIA (Jarosz) – May 7, 1931-November 19, 2022
It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of our mother. Mom was born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, the eldest of Pearl Babb Evans and Corbett Evans. She married her high school sweetheart, Alec, had 2 children and was widowed at the young age of 32. She then moved to Ontario, married Maurice briefly and had her last child. In 1970, Mom moved to Greenfield Park to be with her family who had recently transplanted from Newfoundland. After a few years, Mom married Stan and they remained together until his passing in 2010. She had a long life with many ups and downs, but she was strong. Mom had determination, resilience and faith. She was a steadfast Christian, attending
St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Greenfield Park from 1970 until the last couple of years. Mom was active in the Church, becoming a Sideswoman and joining the ACW. St. Paul’s was her happy place. Mom went to Serenity Gardens this summer, where she received outstanding care from Roxanne and her staff. In the early hours of November 19, the good Lord called her home, peacefully, in her sleep. For those she has left behind, we pray she has found eternal peace.
Mom leaves behind to celebrate her passing, children Wayne (Lucie), Barb, Alicia (Darren), grandchildren Jaime, Jennifer (Dusty), Rebecca (Jonathan), and 6 great-grandchildren; as well, her sister Bee and brothers Keith (Louise) and Paul (Wendy), along with numerous nieces and nephews and family in Newfoundland. Mom is pre-deceased by her parents, sister Deloris, brothers-in-law Ed and Paul, and son-in-law Lorne.
