• Notes

  Obituary Woolner, Elvina - July 15, 1925 - January 16, 2021 Elvina Woolner (nee Martin) completed her earthly journey after a short battle with COVID-19 at the age of 95. She was predeceased by her husband Leonard, son Jerry, and siblings Cindy, Urias, Maryann, Nelson, and Abner. She will be deeply missed by her three daughters Sharon (Larry), Marlene (Dave), and Gloria (Steve); 7 grandchildren Laura, Kathryn, Jackie, Joanna, Adam, Jessica, and Becky; and 12 great-grandchildren Caleb, Brenna, Halle, Clayton, Yuna, Elora, Ara, Isaiah, Jia, Jadon, Alex, and Jessica's soon-to-be born baby. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Vera and Ann, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Elvina cherished her relationships with her many dear friends and neighbours who appreciated her spirited wit, caring heart, generous hospitality, and memorable meals. Many hours were spent reminiscing about life on the farm and sharing her joy of gardening. Elvina was an avid scrabble player and jumble scrambler and was rarely seen without a book in her hand. Every evening at 7:30 you could find her watching Jeopardy. She enjoyed music and singing and always loved when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren sang her favourite songs like Suppertime, I Come to the Garden Alone, and Sleep My Child. Elvina was an active member at First Mennonite Church in Kitchener and later attended Bethany Community Church in St. Catharines. Her enduring faith in God sustained her through challenging times. She leaves a legacy of faith for us to carry on. The family would like to express their gratitude to all the staff at Tabor Manor in St. Catharines who loved and cared for Elvina. Thank you for your exceptional care, compassion, and expert knowledge. Memorial celebrations will be held in the future when family and friends can gather. Donations in Elvina's memory can be made to a charity of your choice.
