EVELYN KWASNITZA

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

• We last dropped in to see Ev in July, 2016 and spent a lovely couple of hours chatting about old times. We were newlyweds and arrived from Toronto in August 1969. During our time in Winnipeg, Ev and Gary were always a welcoming couple and we enjoyed countless hours drinking coffee and watching hockey in their living room. I only learned of her passing today while looking up info to call her. For some reason I had been thinking of her lately and had wanted to touch base. Ev was always a warm, welcoming, person. I will miss her sunny laugh. Love to Scott and Garth. - Posted by: Brian and Janet Lovegrove (Friends, work mate of Gary at A.C. Nielsen 1969 to 1973) on: Sep 06, 2021

• I met Mrs. Kwaznitsa in 1985 when I was lucky enough to enter her grade 1/2 class at Buchanan Elementary. I was even luckier to get her in grade 2 as well! She was and is my favourite teacher. She used to tell my Mom that I “held court” in class 😂. One time she noticed that I got new boots and another boy in class didn’t have any. She called Mom and asked her if she could have my old boots. She always noticed and she always cared. Throughout my years at Buchanan, she encouraged me to run for student council president and in junior high I came back to her for advice and to tell her about my problems. She always listened. Now I live in BC and I have kids of my own and now THEY sing the 3 Bears cha cha cha! Thank you Mrs. K. Say hi to my Mom for me 💛 - Posted by: Kristin Maier nee Castle (Student) on: Oct 31, 2018

• Oh Garth, Tom and Scott...I pray God in heaven will give you the strength you need in the coming days...the fortitude to move forward...loving memories...of one of the sweetest, kindest, generous neighbors I have been graced to have in my life. So patient, so kind, so headstrong and strong willed. Someone I have been blessed to know, and share a very small portion of her time on this earth. My heart and my prayers are with you. Stay strong. And resolute...as she was in her lifetime. We feel your loss personally. - Posted by: Annette Trottier (Neighbor and loving friend) on: Oct 28, 2018

• Scott Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. After reading your Mom’s beautiful life story I know now where you got all your own wonderful traits and qualities that you have shared with your students and colleagues in the LSSD. The impact of your Mom’s deep connection with family and friends will have a ripple effect that will carry on for eternity. Go well and stay strong!
