Dear mother of Kimberly Sheane (Steve Cameron) of Kincardine, and Karen (Donald) Fair of Scottsdale, Arizona. Cherished and beloved grandmother (Nanny) of Michael Fair of Edmonton, Nicole Fair of Phoenix and Sheane Fair of Scottsdale, Arizona.

Evelyn was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Sept. 4, 1931. After high school, she remained in Sydney and worked as a teller in a bank, where she met her husband, Weir. Together they raised two daughters in Kincardine and were very involved in church activities, local politics and community organizations.

Many happy winters were spent in Arizona during their retirement years, while summers meant the joy of having Michael and Nicole visit from Arizona, with time spent on the farm, swimming, boating and going to Camp Hermosa.
