EVELYN ROSE NACHTEGAELE

July 29, 1946 – September 9, 2021

Evelyn was born July 29^th, 1946, to Emma & Frank Marling,in Cut Knife SK. They homesteaded in the Carruthers District. Mom grew up there and went to school in Neilburg, SK.

As years went on Emma’s health wasn’t well, so Emma and Frank moved to BC. At the time Evelyn was in high school and remained in the North Battleford area to finish her schooling. She then went to the convent in North Battleford.

It was those years she stayed with Mary (AKA “Nana”) & Adam Turner, their sons Jack & Harry, as well as other young teenagers that Mary and Adam were guardians for that Ev grew lifelong relationships with. It was with them she was like family and from then on after, The Turner family are like family to us all.

Ev met Allan Nachtegaele in the 60’s and married February 12^th, 1966. They moved on to the family farm of Emma & Jules Nachtegaele. This was their home for many years. Over time they had 4 children Craig, Keith, Dwayne, and Sheri.

Evelyn was a loving and generous soul. She always gave strong hugs and smiles to her family and close friends. Even though she had her trials and tribulations personally, and over the years her health issues followed, she lived the life as best she knew how.

 She had a love for gardening, especially flowers, everything from roses (her favorite), sweet peas, lilacs, peonies, and lilies.  She had a green thumb, there was fruit, vegetable, and potato gardens that that were started by Grandma Nachtegaele, she learned how to keep them very quickly.

Many canned goods, pies, cookies, buns etc. come out of her kitchen, she was busy all summer with the gardens, harvest time was always busy for her, with the gardens, farming, and meals for the harvest crew. She handled it with stride.

In her spare time, in the winters usually, she knitted, sewed and was active off and on over the years with bowling & skating a little. She was the best cheerleader for her kids’ sports and grandkids, from hockey, figure skating, dance, and school sports, she was there cheering them on. It was through many of those years that Ev acquired many lasting friendships, many are family friends still today.  She was known to always be asking her friends and family how their kids were doing and so supportive of them all.

Over the years family time was spent camping, fishing, many ball and hockey tournaments, and family reunions, it was always a good time, even though she did all the work she never complained, she always kept the camper neat as she did her home.

Family was most important to her, grandkids were the most special. So many great memories, she will be greatly missed by all.
