Mum was born April 8, 1921 in Sardis, British Columbia. Her family (Ryan) farmed in nearby Vedder Crossing. After graduating from high school in Chilliwack she trained as a registered nurse in Royal Columbia Hospital in New Westminster. She nursed there, in Chilliwack, and in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and Souris, Manitoba. Her goal to continue nursing across Canada changed into marriage to Ken Lovatt on June 20, 1947. They farmed together in Carroll until the early 1980’s and raised five children. Dad died in 1985. We remember the visits of her brothers and sisters and their families from British Columbia. But the prairies became Mum’s home and, in many ways, Dad’s family became her family. Rachel, especially, became a life-long and close friend. In 1987 Eileen married Gerald Abrey. We are forever thankful for Gerald’s love and care during the years Mum lost her eyesight, and for helping her learn to adapt to life as a differently-abled person. Mum and Gerald lived active and joyful lives as members of the Souris Gospel Chapel community. Mum moved into Crescent Manor in Souris in April 1992, two months after Gerald’s death. So many of us worried that Mum would lose her ability to function in the world, but it was not that way at all. She learned to count steps and trust her faith and ever-excellent hearing. Her ability to recognize voices surprised many. She made her own decisions. “She bought her own hats”, as many who remember seeing her out walking would agree! Eileen is survived by five sisters and two brothers. She is also survived by her children and grandchildren: Joel (Pat) Lovatt and Sarah, Laura, and Michael; Lloyd (Linda) Lovatt and Heather and Holly; Betty Lou (Ken) Morrison and Tim and Jennifer; Barbara (Chuck) Hutton and Charles and Micah; and Charlie Lovatt (Lorette Dewar); step children Carolyn, Nolan, and Susan; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her husbands Ken and Gerald, she was predeceased by her parents and two sisters. “She did what she had the power to do.” Mark 14:8. BOULET Rhonda Marie Boulet of Killarney, 1983-2001. Daughter of Ron and Marianne, sister of Chantal went bravely into the arms of the Lord after a long and courageous battle with Cystic Fibrosis on September 5, 2001. Her beautiful spirit that touched so many people will remain always. A service of remembrance will be held on Monday, September 10, 2001 at 1:00 p.m. in the Killarney Mennonite Church on Bay Avenue, Killarney, Manitoba. Donations may be made to Cystic Fibrosis, Box 21008, 32-3900 Grant Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3R 3R2. Killarney & Boissevain Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
