STACEY: Evelyn Pearl Stacey of Brandon passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 28, 1997 at the Assiniboine Centre.
Evelyn was born August 18, 1916, the eldest daughter ol
Jack and Violet Pritchard, and was raised in Holmfield, MB. Following her marriage to G. Edward Stacey they lived at
various locations before settling in Killarney, MB in 1944.
After their move to Brandon in 1956, Evelyn went back to
school, completing a secretarial and bookkeeping course with
her daughter. Over the years she was employed at Cartwright and Killarney Creameries and in Brandon at Western Motors, Brandon Sun and Dunwoody Co., enjoying and taking great pride in her work. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband Eddie, her father and mother, brothers Garnet and Evans Pritchard and sister-in-law Doris Towns. One
of her greatest joys in life besides her many friends was

May family. She is lovingly remembered by her family:
daughter Donna (Hugh May) of Brandon; granddaughter Lisa (Bob Sanders) of Guelph, ON; grandsons Stacy May, Tony
May (Sharlene) and Doug May (Rose) all of Brandon; granddaughter Erin May of Jasper, AB; and great-grandchildren

(Jim) of Miami, MB and Mabel Agar (Bill) of Clear Lake, MB;
sisters-in-law Bessie Towns (Orville) of Killarney, Gwen
Trott (Don) of Brandon, Pearl Towns (Frank) of Langley, BC;
brother-in-law Gordon Stacey (Ruby) of Killarney and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. By Evelyn’s
express wish, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at Rosewood Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, January 7, 1998 at 2 p.m.
with Mona Franklin officiating. Interment will follow in Rosewood Memorial Gardens. In
lieu of flowers, friends who desire may make memorial contributions to a charity of their choice. The family wish to express appreciation and thanks to Mom’s special friend, Hazel
