There are many beautiful memories of you, Auntie Evelyn with Uncle Colin and mum and Karl. This was a fun trip to Vegas we took where we all stayed in that 3 room hotel and we visited my best friends, Jen and John and ate at that really good Mediterranean Restaurant. That was a really fun weekend. I remember that was my 15 years sober and we all celebrated it together and went to a meeting where you heard me speak. That meant so much to me I will never forget it. ❤️❤️

Auntie Evelyn,
It’s hard to believe that you’re gone. You left a hole which no one can ever fill.
It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that I’ll never hear from you again. Sweet memories, fill me anytime I remember the advice you found pleasure in sharing with me and will forever be cherished. I found consolation in you whenever I got downhearted. Your benevolent smile lifted my heart anytime you were near me. You had a healing voice, the glow in your eyes always sent encouragement to far and wide. Everyone admired your wisdom in solving complex issues anytime that mom and I sought your input. You were a role model to me and now I can probably say that you left footprints in the sands of time. Auntie Evelyn, you helped keep me calm even when the situation seemed unbearable. Admittedly we have lost a precious jewel; If deaths were unstoppable, we would’ve kept it from coming your way
Goodbye for now, auntie Evelyn. You fought a good fight. You left a mark in my heart, and nothing will ever erase that. It is indelible in our hearts you were a gem and will remain forever cherished. Auntie Evelyn, my love, for you will forever remain, and my second mum you will always be. I will always miss you. Rest in peace, my dear, sweet auntie.

Uncle Colin, Larry and I were so very sad to hear of Auntie Evelyn’s passing. I know she fought very hard to stay with you and Tootsie, but she is now pain free and at peace. Like all her nieces and nephews I have wonderful memories of times spent together when you first came to Canada with all the McGregors. I remember when Auntie Evelyn worked for the bank and gave all her nieces and nephews a silver dollar for the Queens Jubillee which I still have and have always treasured and will continue to, even more so now. 52 years of marriage is a true testament of the loved you and Auntie Evelyn shared and I know you will miss her dearly but as you grieve the loss always remember, those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard but always near, always loved, always missed, always with us today, tomorrow, forever. Always in my heart Auntie Evelyn, rest peacefully.
Fiona & Larry

Words fall short when trying to describe the Bright Light that Evelyn was in our midst. Even now the thought of her gentle laugh and smiling eyes brings kindness to any situation. Our hearts go out to you, Colin. Healing the pain of loss may take time, but Love makes time fly. We will miss the many good times spent together with you and Evelyn at the jazz club in our community of Apple Valley, California. Our memories of Evelyn will be cherished forever.
With Love, Harry and Lee Grammer

My condolences to Evelyn and Colin's family during this difficult time.
I have fond memories of Evelyn attending our SAV Wine Club events. This photo is from 2018.
Evelyn was instrumental in setting the Financial Policy for our Chartered Clubs and ensuring that our association's financials were always up to her high standards.
Godspeed Evelyn,

Dear, Colin,
Linda and I were deeply saddened when we got word of Evelyn’s passing.
I have racked my brain trying to find words that might bring you some comfort or at least ease the terrible pain you must be feeling.
I've concluded that such words do not exist. Only the passage of time and the fond memories of your life together can do that.
Please know that Linda and I are thinking about and keeping you and your family are in our prayers.
Love,
Pat & Linda

Dear Uncle Colin
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear of Auntie Evelyn’s passing . I was really praying hard each day for Auntie Evelyn to regain her strength . Although it has been many years since I have seen her , us cousins have always reminisced about the fun family times we had growing up with all our aunts and uncles. We often recall us all getting together at Uncle Bob’s and Auntie Nancy’s place on Christmas Eve , eating good food and all the singing and dancing … I remember a couple of times going to the holiday Inn for Christmas dinner and seeing how beautiful mom , Auntie Evelyn and Auntie Nancy always looked in their long gowns , as well as our dinners to Lychee Gardens . As Gord said , we always that it was cool to have an Aunt and Uncle so young, I remember being fascinated at watching Auntie Evelyn apply all her face creams and her make up so perfect, I couldn’t wait to be old enough to wear my own and remember her secretively letting me try some lipstick on . I also remember how fond Auntie Evelyn was at doing puzzles and often would frame and make pictures out of them . Uncle Colin , I will forever remember Auntie Evelyn . Rest in peace sweet Auntie , and I hope you get to have a wee cuppa and biscuit with granny , my mom , Auntie Nancy and Auntie Ellen , love ❤️ your niece Jan

A Tribute to Auntie Evelyn
Although Auntie Evelyn & Uncle Colin moved to Canada before I was born, Auntie Evelyn’s presence was always felt through the many stories my mum, dad, Grandma & Grandad shared about her. As my mum's little sister, she was always the subject of fond stories like the one about starting school in a blazer that was so big it would last her for years to come. Auntie Evelyn's height was always a humorous topic!
As I grew older, I looked forward to Auntie Evelyn and Uncle Colin’s trips back home. They always had so much to share about their life in Canada, and I couldn't wait to hear every detail. I have fond memories of being quite young, sitting on LaLa’s bed, watching as Auntie Evelyn applied her makeup style her long, beautiful hair. I was mesmerised!
When I was a teenager, Auntie Evelyn and Uncle Colin made sure I had all the best Michael Jackson memorabilia which you couldn’t have found in Edinburgh, and I proudly showed them off to all my friends. Over the years, we remained close, with Evelyn and Colin coming over for my wedding and the births of their great nephews. We were also lucky to visit them in Canada, staying with them in Milton. On my second trip, Auntie Evelyn introduced me to Starbucks and pumpkin spice lattes. To this day, I still think they tasted better in Canada, and I always think of her when I have one.
Growing up, I was often told that I was the spitting image of Auntie Evelyn, not only in appearance but in personality too. We shared the same height, career and sense of humour. We shared many interests—like our love of cuddly toys, TV shows, whisky, and, of course, our dogs. Despite the distance between us, we always had plenty to talk about during our calls or emails.
My heart breaks for Uncle Colin, and I can’t imagine the pain he’s feeling. But we will carry Auntie Evelyn’s memory forward, through him, through Mum, and through the stories we’ll share with our boys. They still fondly remember their brief chats with their Great Auntie Evelyn at Xmas and on birthdays.
Auntie Evelyn, may you rest in peace. Your memory will forever be cherished by all who knew and loved you.
All our love,
Susan, Andrew, Aaron, and Isaac x

A Scottish heart, a love so vast, A great person, from first to last, Their kindness shone, a beacon bright, A guiding star, through darkest nights. They stood for truth, embraced the weak, Their love, a force, a river deep, A life of honor, compassion, and grace, My dear Auntie, forever embraced. We'll celebrate the life they led, A love unbroken, a path well-tread, My dear Auntie, forever near, A Scottish legacy, in memory clear.

Uncle Colin words cannot describe how sad we are to learn of the loss of our dear auntie Evelyn..The love the two of you have shared for so many years was an example of what true love encompasses. I remember the first few years when you two first immigrated to Canada and how kind and thoughtful you always were and how cool we thought it was to have a an aunt and uncle that was close to our age. Although we all drift apart over the years know the two of you were always in our heart and thoughts and I will continue to remember the fond memories every time I see my little Evelyn (granddaughter). Hopefully time will ease some of the pain I’m sure your feeling and give you some comfort recalling the wonderful life the two of you shared with each other..we will all miss our Auntie Evelyn

Many fond memories of evenings and weekends spent with Evelyn, Colin, and their two babies Rocky and Skippy, albeit too many years ago. These times always involved good food, a few glasses of wine and some silly games, or a bag full of VHS videos, and always lots of laughter. I missed those times by being in other parts of the world, and sadly, now, they will always only be fond memories. Rest in peace Evelyn. We’ll continue to think of you every time we walk past the gorgeous portrait you had done of our two kids all those years ago.

I remember Evelyn (pronounced “Eve”-a-Lynn) she would tell us California friends, as a bright light around our clubhouse. Always with a smile. She and Colin were never afraid to volunteer for the many jobs that needed done within the association. I don’t remember who would defer to whom in a conversation. But, all along, you could see the love and respect they had for each other. I know Colin is heart broken, yet finds comfort knowing you are still near in a state of peace. Rest easy my friend, in the arms of your loving God.

To Evelyn, my “wee” sister. I keep thinking about when you moved to Canada at just 23 years old. Newly married, you were chasing your dreams, and though the distance between Edinburgh and Canada was vast, you never felt far from my thoughts. We stayed connected in so many ways over the years, whether it was through handwritten airmail letters, the landline calls, or email. We could chat on a Sunday night for hours, about everything and nothing. No matter the time difference, you’d always make time to hear how I was doing and I loved hearing about life on the other side of the pond. I still can’t quite grasp that I won’t hear from you again. But I take comfort in knowing that the connection we had will live on in every letter, every call, every shared memory.
You were always there, even from so far away, and I will carry you with me forever. Rest in peace, my dear sister. You may be gone, but you’ll always be a part of me.

I am sad to lose my Aunty Evelyn, she was a lot of fun. I remember when her and Uncle Colin both moved to Canada and lived with us at Harris Park Drive until they got their own place on Tinder Cresent. I remember all the get togethers at Christmas time and many other events with the rest of the McGregor clan, all good times and good laughs . Rest in peace Aunty, you gave it a good fight.

I have many fond memories of Evelyn
From the time they lived with us on Harris Park
To there apartment just down the road where they started there new life
Here in Canada.
Family christmases, and get togethers.
You were always laughing and enjoying life.
Just a little poem for you.
You have suffered auntie long enough,
You were brave strong and tough.
The battle you fought was long and hard,
But it’s okay auntie let go and let God.
It has hurt all of us when you left that day,
It left me broken hearted with nothing to say.
I don’t want to be selfish say please don’t leave,
Because I did not want to hurt or grieve.
I know in my heart you are in a better place,
But I swear im going to miss your beautiful face.
I am going to miss the talks we would have,
And the stories I would tell that would make you laugh.
God just needed you to come home,
Yes we know it has made your family sore.
You will always be remembered every single day,
From the smile on your face to the things you would say.
You have taken your space in heaven right where you belong,
Right up there with Charles, Jean, Robert (Bob), Nancy and Ellen.
Yes we all know that we need to be strong,
But through our family your memory will live on.
You don’t need to fight anymore just let go and let God,
While you were here on earth you did your job.
You did your part to keep family and Fur babies together,
that’s why you will remain in our hearts always and forever.

Evelyn and Colin are just a couple of years older than me so I always thought of her as more of a cousin than an aunt. I remember first meeting her on a visit to Scotland when she was busy with wedding plans. I was privy to some of the behind the scenes goings on and still laugh remembering her saying that she was ready to elope when the two mother-in-laws began arguing about the colour of the table napkins at the reception! But she - and Colin - kept their cool and the wedding went on as planned Their marriage of 52 years proves just how well suited they were for each other.
I am just sad that we hadn't had the chance to see each other since her return from the US and their move to New Brunswick - something undertaken in the middle of the Covid pandemic! I hope that retirement in the Maritimes was everything that she hoped for, I'm just sorry that her recent illness cut that time short. She fought a good fight - always supported by her loving husband - but she is now at rest. I will miss her.

I’m very saddened for the lose of my anti Evelyn, when she came to Canada with Colin many years ago they stayed with our family before finding there own place, I had an instant bond with Evelyn, she always made time to chat and never judged me, when they moved to Tinder Cresent Colin worked nights and Evelyn being knew to Canada was a little nervous being alone, so my friend Ken and I would go spend time with her to make her feel safe, she was one cool anti to hang out with, let us smoke and play cool albums Lol ! these times are fond memories to me, and I’ll miss her dearly
God speed Anti Evelyn
