Evelyn Louise (nee Kristjansson) Yaworski

It is with mixed emotions that the family announces Evelyn’s passing. We are saddened by the loss of a loving wife, mother, grandma, and great-grandma, yet we are joyful that she is now in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Evelyn Louise Yaworski went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Sept. 30, 2018. She was born on Jan. 24, 1943 to Edvald "Ed" and Ebba (nee Franson) Kristjansson at home, in Rutan. She was the fourth child of nine children. Evelyn attended school at Nicklet and Meacham. She graduated from Teacher's College in Saskatoon. She taught one year in Willow Springs by North Battleford and half a year in Glynfield, north of Plunkett. Evelyn met the love of her life August "Gus" Yaworski at a Christian Youth Group near Rutan. They were married July 27th, 1963. They were blessed with three children. Evelyn's love of nature kept her outdoors in her garden, bird watching, picking wildflowers, pussy willows, camping, golfing and travelling. Gus and Ev loved to travel some of the highlights were two trips to Hawaii, Alaskan Cruise and Mexico. In their retirement they enjoyed numerous winters in Yuma. Ev 'liked' working with cows, she would give them unique names, such as "Dumb Dumb Ding-a-Ling'. Ev enjoyed gathering with family and friends to play games,cards and visit. Often you could find her taking pictures and playing with her grandkids, or taking them on road trips and teaching them they can play anywhere..... As the Grandchildren grew up she became their friends and they could talk to her about anything. Ev loved to give hugs, and her hugs were everything you needed. Everywhere she went laughter was there, with her family and friends she had a way for finding the good or humor in every situation. Where ever you went you would always hear her laugh, she loved to laugh. Ev has accumulated many friends, truly hard to mention all of you, she appreciated each one.
