Obituaries

Evelyn Grace Baxter November 14, 1922- January 9, 2014

Evelyn was born in the fishing village of Vogler’s Cove, Nova Scotia and worked for a short time as a Nanny in Halifax before a serious illness sent her home to recuperate. She married her first husband, Emerson Conrad, and raised her five children in an old house with no insulation, running water, nor central heating. It was a hard life but she loved her children. Evelyn never had a driver’s license but only gave up driving in Nova Scotia on the recommendation of the policeman who stopped her after a minor mishap when she went off the road and her husband’s beer spilled all over her. She followed her husband out to Terrace, BC in 1965 where he had come to find work and spent some time as a clerk at The Hub back when it was the only store open after 6 pm in Terrace. In 1969, Evelyn and her second husband Red (Oliver Baxter) began their meandering trip around BC following Red’s work in an attempt to find the right climate for his asthma; first going to the Ashcroft area, then on to Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Coquitlam and north to Prince Rupert where he retired from the hardware store business and settled back in Terrace. When Red died of heart failure shortly after retiring, Evelyn lost her zest for living although she still loved to dance and had two friends, Bill Gyger and Ed Cote, who had the same love of an old-time waltz. She moved in to the Tuck Avenue Senior Apartments and then in to a basement suite in her daughter Claire’s home before strokes and too many falls moved her up to Terraceview Lodge. Evelyn was very community-minded and belonged to the Rebekah Lodge, the United Church of Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary and the Happy Gang Centre. She held various executive positions and enjoyed her volunteering. Predeceased by her parents, Selborne & Jennie Conrad, brother Douglas, sisters Carrie and Edna, husbands Emerson and Oliver, grandson Trevor. She is survived by brothers Delbert and Alfred Conrad of Nova Scotia and sister Stella Fredrickson of Williams Lake, her daughter Christine (Gordon) Olson of Terrace, son Kenneth (Joy) Conrad of Maple Ridge, daughter Bonnie (James) Lohnes of Nova Scotia, daughter Claire (Rodney) Irwin of Terrace, son Bernard (Leslie) Conrad of Calgary; 11 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. Evelyn died peacefully on the evening of January 9th at Terraceview Lodge with her family and very close friends surrounding her and her funeral was held at the Knox United Church with Wally Hargrave presiding and her grandsons as pallbearers. The family cannot say enough about the excellent care that she received from the staff at Terraceview Lodge who knew her as the “brooch lady” and the church was full of brooches at her funeral - what a way to send her off on her next adventure!

Emma passed away on January 13, 2014 in her 92nd year. Daughter of Terrace pioneers, Edmund and Mary Hamer (nee Chambers), Emma was born in Toronto, Ontario March 19, 1922 while the family was there visiting her ailing grandmother. Raised in Terrace, B.C. Emma moved to Prince Rupert, B.C. in 1942 when she married Rupert boy, Gordon Brochu, whom she had met at a dance in Terrace five years earlier. When Gordon died suddenly in July 1959, Emma sought a dry, sunny, community (anyone who has ever lived in Rupert will understand) where she and the kids could start anew. So in February 1960, she packed up her four children aged three months to fourteen years and made the move to Penticton, B.C. In 1966, Emma decided it was time to return to her home town. She resided there until a stroke in 2004 forced her to sell her home and move in with her daughter, Gina, and son-in-law Len in Westbank, B.C. In 2008, Emma moved to Abbeyfield St. Peter’s House, an independent living facility in Victoria. She resided there until complications after a broken femur and hip in July 2013 made it necessary for her to move to a nursing home. Emma showed remarkable resilience, strength and dignity and was determined to walk again. Emma was a fiercely independent, kind, honest, hard working, say-it-like-it-is person who always put family first. She enjoyed baking and would provide every family member with ice cream buckets packed full of her scrumptious goodies every Christmas. Emma made the best pies on the planet. She was also a gifted knitter and seamstress. Being practical and thrifty, Emma used to grow her own vegetables. Her pickled beets were legendary. Emma always had a soft spot for children and animals and was forever feeding neglected dogs and cats in her Thornhill neighbourhood. After being hit by a car, one such dog crawled to her home. Emma took him in and nursed him back to health with plenty of TLC and broth. After retiring in her 60’s from a lifetime of waitressing, Emma enjoyed her bingo games, became an avid reader and was always ready to discuss politics and current affairs. To the chagrin of her family, who were worried she’d get mauled by a bear, Emma spent many happy hours in the bush on her own, subsidizing her income by picking pine mushrooms. Emma lost her mother in1930 and her father passed away in 1944. She was also predeceased by husband Gordon (1959), siblings Bob (1972), Elsie (1990), Alice (1997), Ken (1999) and Ted (2009), and sisters-in-law Vivian, Verna, Wilma (2009), Marion and Margaret (2013). She is survived by brothers George of Terrace and Harry (Carmen) of Duncan and sisters-in-law Jessie of Montrose and Jean of Terrace. Emma is also survived by her children: Georgina Hamm (Len) of Victoria, Gordon Brochu of Victoria, Alvin Brochu (Christine) of Pentiction and Denise Brochu (Arlena) of Victoria. Her grandchildren: Yvette (Tory) and Ray; Tina, Gordon, Brett and Desha; David, Gary, Alandra (Shaun), Alvin, Andrew and step-grandchildren Floyd, Cinthia, Angelina and Jeopardy. Great grandchildren: Spencer and Rhys; Erik and Trinity; Nathan, Mackenzie, Myla, Kyle, Emma-Lee and Madison. As well as numerous nieces and nephews in our extensive clan. She was also proud to have Debbie, Johan and Isabella call her their ‘Baby Grandma’, a name given to her by great grandson Spencer Kelly at a very young age in an effort to sort out his grandmothers by size. Emma quietly accepted it was time for her to go after she was diagnosed with end stage pancreatic cancer on January 8th. She peacefully passed away in the presence of her family five days later. Respecting Emma’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. Her ashes will be interred in the Pioneer Cemetery in Terrace, B.C. A family celebration of her life will be held there this summer. The family would like to thank the Board of Directors and residents of Abbeyfield St. Peter’s House for their friendship, the 6th floor staff at James Bay Lodge for their caring and support, and Dr. Barbara Roback for being a compassionate advocate for Mom. Thank you, Mom, for your unconditional love and support and for providing us with a welcoming home that always smelled like baking bread. You will be in our hearts always, Emma, Emma-Lou, Mom, Aunty Emma, Grandma, Baby Grandma. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the S.P.C.A. in Mom’s name.
