We Remember

WARD, Elva

It is with great sadness that the family of Elva Ward announce that she passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on October 12, 2018 at the age of 98.  Elva is survived by her daughters Gloria (Ron), Diane (Dan – predeceased), Debra (David), and Cheryl (Alan), sons Wayne (Shirley) and Gary (Carole), 11 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and sisters Audrey, June and Marge.  She is predeceased by her husband Wilf, infant son Dean, parents Amelia and Walter Payne and sisters Eileen and Irene.

Elva was born in Roblin, MB in 1920 and married the love of her life, Wilf, in 1937.  They farmed for many years before moving to Kelowna in 1969.  Elva worked for many years at Sun Rype before retiring in 1984.

Her passion was knitting for her family and the Kelowna General Hospital gift shop.  She loved visiting with her family and having them over for meals.

Special thanks to Doctors Obedkoff and Imrie and the staff at Mountainview Home Care.
