March 14, 1933 — August 31, 2023

Born in Meteghan, Nova Scotia in 1933 to parents Gertrude and Désiré d’Entremont, Evie passed away at age 90 in Kelowna, BC.

She is survived and will be forever missed by her loving husband Larry, whom she married in 1957. They lived in many wonderful communities including Sydney and Halifax in Nova Scotia, Toronto, and Ottawa in Ontario, and retired in Kelowna, BC.

She is survived by her favourite sister Phyllis from Vancouver and brother Vic (predeceased wife Olive) in Moncton. She was predeceased by her brother Paul (Jean). She was loved deeply by her nieces and nephews whom she always connected with, Lisa, Andrea (Randy), Neil (Colleen), Marc (Petra), Colette (Thane), Michelle (Marc) along with many more great and great-great nieces and nephews.

Evie had a career of over 30 years with the Bank of Nova Scotia, where her clients and colleagues valued her organized, caring personality. She and Larry travelled the globe throughout their lives. Evie had an active life and loved skiing, walking, and golfing. She was a lifelong learner and reader and enjoyed her ladies’ book club. All that knew her loved her calm, generous, gracious demeanour and sense of humour. She was known for her fashion sense, great book collection and well-manicured nails.

    Only met Evie in the 2000’s, but she quickly became very special to me and it felt like I had known her all my life. She was a delight -full of wit, knowledge and caring. She will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her. Deepest condolences to Larry, Phyllis and Vic.

    Evie was a wonderful person and aunt. Someone I greatly admired and respected. Always smiling and full of life. I’ve included a couple of memories that will always be with me.

    I met Evie in 1962 when I moved to Halifax to work at BNS. We became friends and maintained that friendship throughout our entire lives. Although we were many miles apart for most of our lives, we kept in touch and had visits. Evie was one of my dearest and best friends and I will always have her in my heart.

    I remember Evie fondly from working with her at Scotiabank in Ottawa, having a little cocktail with her, Larry and my parents, Anne and Art, at the local pub on the Byward market, and her help with my own wedding.
    She was a great lady and will be missed .

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
