EVELYN “EVIE” PAULINE BENNETT

​

November 28, 1970 – June 22, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Evelyn “Evie” Pauline Bennett, daughter of the late Donald David Bennett and Hannelore Foster on Thursday, June 22, 2023 at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg.

 

Evelyn grew up in Morden, MB and Morris, MB. She resided in Winnipeg at the time of her passing.

 

Evelyn was known for her vibrant personality and her joy in the Lord. She was an active member of the Church of the Rock until her health and the whole covid pandemic prevented her from attending in person. But if you visited her, you would quite likely hear the praise and worship music from her church on her phone.

 

Evelyn loved to write poetry and had a couple of her poems published. She dreamed of writing a book some day in hopes of helping other people who suffered from mental illness.

 

Evelyn did not enjoy a healthy life here on earth but we know she is praising her Lord and Saviour now with song and dance.

 

Evelyn was predeceased by her grandparents; her dad, Donald David Bennett; and her brothers, Andy Ganz and James Bennett. She is survived by her mom, Hannelore Foster; stepdad, David Foster; also her aunts, Marianne, Ellen, and Evelyn; uncle Ed; cousins, Mike, Tim, Chris, Jason, Jennifer, Kim, and Kristie; and her precious friends.

 

A memorial service will be held at 11:00am on Tuesday, July 4, 2023 at Church of the Rock (1397 Buffalo Place).

 

Evelyn’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos, memories, and stories by making use of the comment section on this page.

I just want to send out a big thank you to all the people involved in Cousin Evelyn's Service of Celebration.  All of the volunteers who showed up to help out in any way that they could.  Pastor Steve, who did a fabulous job with the service.  It stands without reason, why Cousin Evelyn felt so much at home at Church of the Rock!  I want to share something that I was thinking should have been shared during my Eulogy, but never was. While Cousin Evelyn was in hospital for the last time, she was on life support cause of her serious brain injury, caused by the many strokes that she had endured.  I said a prayer with Evelyn.  She was unresponsive as far as her brain activity was.  Her eyes were closed.  When they finally took her off life support, I simply told Evelyn that she needed to not hang on any longer and just walk towards the light.  She listened to me immediately.  I was standing right beside her.  My ex girl friend was to her left.  Jody says,  "Look!"  Evelyn's eyes opened up big and wide and she cracked a smile for me!!!  She was at total peace with no pain or nothing!!  And I knew at that very moment that she was walking towards the light!  That she was finally home and reunited with  the people she missed and loved so dearly!  Such a blessing!  I will always think of you and miss you!  But I know that we will meet again!❤

This is Evelyn and I last Christmas.  Evelyn had a gift that she had won from a contest from CHVN radio and had promised that she was going to use it with me some day, and so we finally did!  This was the last photo that we had together!❤
