EVELYN SARAH FARREN July 9, 1964 October 5, 2014 It's with great sadness we announce the passing of Evelyn Farren after a courageous battle against cancer, fought with dignity and grace. Left to treasure her memory are her beloved sons Kyle (Jessie) and Travis (Sam), her granddaughter Sophie, her adoring parents Neil and Kathleen, her sister Anne (Warren), her niece Caitlin, her dearest friend Marc and all her family in Scotland. Evelyn was blessed with many wonderful friends, but those who enriched her life the most were her lifelong friend Gail and her bingo buddy Debbie. Evelyn had a wonderful appreciation for the simple things in life and found great joy in camping with friends, walking her dog Shadow through the woods, listening to the waves crash on the beach and sitting around the bonfire with her boys. Her favourite pastime was playing with her granddaughter Sophie. We would like to thank Dr. A. Jowett and his nurse Agnes for all their compassion and care. The palliative care team that provided comfort and respect during Ev's final days and Dr. R. Wong at CancerCare who did all he could. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, October 10, 2014 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 4588 Roblin Boulevard. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to CancerCare Manitoba. WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO Cancer is limited. It cannot cripple Love It cannot shatter Hope It cannot corrode Faith It cannot destroy Peace It cannot kill Friendship It cannot suppress Memories It cannot silence Courage It cannot invade the Soul It cannot steal Eternal Life It cannot conquer the Spirit. 204-586-8044

Evelyn was a dear, long - distance friend for many, many years since we first met in Scotland in the early 1980s, very kindly hosting me on a number of occasions through those years. Time and life meant that we lost touch but, through those years, I often thought of her and her family, their joy in life and their generosity. Utterly heartbroken to discover that she is no longer with us but I will always remember her rebellious smile and wicked sense of humour. With love from John and Martine. - Posted by: Josh (Scottish friend) on: Jan 02, 2018

Evelyn was my anchor when life was tough in our younger years. Always had a great smile and big heart and will always cherish the time we had together. She will be deeply missed. - Posted by: gerry anderson (friend) on: Mar 17, 2015

I am sending my sincere sympathy on the loss of your loved one. I made a short foray back to work yesterday, where Earl informed me of Evelyn's passing. I am sorry that I was not aware of this loss in time to attend the burial service. Your family remains in my prayers. May the knowledge that Evelyn will continue to live in your thoughts and memories help ease the pain of your sorrow. - Posted by: Carol Allan (Co-worker of Anne) on: Oct 17, 2014

Our deepest sympathies. We were not aware that Evelyn was ill. She was amazing person to know. We had lots of good times playing darts. We are sure she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her memory will keep her with you always. Karen & Murray - Posted by: Karen and Murray Moffatt (friend) on: Oct 11, 2014

This must seem like a voice from the past. Evelyn was my daughter Sara`s dearest friend in high school - they were inseparable. When Sara was killed so tragically in 1980, Evelyn was devastated but ready with support and many tears. I will always be grateful for that special friendship with Sara. I am so very sorry to hear of her untimely passing. I send my sincerest condolences and deepest regrets to all her family, especially her parents. Only those who have walked down this road understand the pain of the loss of a child. Thinking about you, Margaret Taylor. - Posted by: Margaret Taylor (Mother of a special friend) on: Oct 08, 2014
