Evilena Irene Kendrick

Evilena Irene Kendrick, 82, of Forest Dale Home passed away on December 2nd, 2022 at the home with her family by her side.

 

Evilena was born in Riverside on January 21, 1940 the daughter of the late Milo and Irene (Campbell) Beaman.

 

Evilena's first priority was raising her family then she joined the workforce.   She had many jobs over the years working at Blue Cross, Elderkin's Care Home and worked as a flagger for a few different construction companies.  She was a faithful member of the Holy Ghost Catholic Church and sang in the choir for years.  She had a special place in her heart for animals, especially her cats.   She loved music of all kinds and even liked the newest popular music today.  She loved to have fun and enjoyed dancing and being around people.  She enjoyed shopping and looked forward to all the outings with the girls.  She would go weekly to the Swamp Donkey for Karaoke and most recently went to the Hillsborough Legion, she enjoyed this immensely.  In her later years she took up quilting and she was very detail oriented and did an amazing job.  

 

Evilena was not a flashy kind of woman but she enjoyed the simple things in life.  She was there for her family and made many memories over the years that they will treasure and have a few laughs over.  She had a great sense of humour and didn't take herself too seriously.  She would want everyone to remember a fun time they had together.  Her little laugh and that grin will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.   She has left a legacy of love that will always be with us.  "Forever in our hearts"

 

She will be deeply missed by her children, Danny Kendrick (Nancy) of Weldon, Darren Kendrick of Beaverbrook, Janey Cameron (Danny) of Riverside-Albert and Paul Kendrick (Melinda) of Hillsborough; her treasured grandchildren, Brittany (Justin), Kenny, Ryan (Abigail), Kaytie, Daniel, Evan and Tiffany; great-grandchildren, Isabella and Raiden.  She will also be missed by all her extended family, many cousins and friends.
