January 1, 1930 - June 18, 2023

Eva was born in 1930 in Konigsberg, in pre-war Germany. She moved to England as a young bride in 1955, immigrating to Canada in 1958. After living all across the country, she settled in Sechelt in 1986.

Throughout her moves and travels Eva made lifelong friends, keeping in touch the old-fashioned way, sending cards and letters to people she knew from across the years and all over the world. She never mastered modern technology, but the table in her home was always piled high with correspondence from across the globe.

Eva was a people-person with friends, family and acquaintances commenting on her generosity and her sense of humour. She loved volunteering, games night, and anything that filled her house with friends and family. Eva is survived by her daughter Ursula Wall, son Thomas Wall, grandchildren Richard Lalich, Derek Wall, Natalie Hughes, and Emily Peel, and great-grandchildren Poppy Hughes, Piper Wall, Bodhi Hughes and Julian Peel.

A celebration of life will be held at the Sechelt Seniors Centre at 3:00pm Friday, July 7, followed with a scattering of Eva's ashes at her favorite beach. The family requests no flowers, but if you wish to make a small donation to Doctors Without Borders, Eva would be very pleased.
