Mrs. Eva Lawer, on the eve of 95 years, passed away peacefully at Pioneer Ridge Home for the Aged on Sunday, March 14, 2021.
A resident of Thunder Bay for 71 years, Eva was born in Ukraine on May 12, 1926. She immigrated to Canada with her husband George (Jourko) and their daughter Kim in 1950 and began their life together as young entrepreneurs owning and operating residential real estate while continuing to grow their beautiful family. Sincerely kind, talented and intelligent, Eva was spunky with a magnetic personality. She was a social butterfly with a great sense of humour and the natural ability to make a stranger feel welcome. She instilled the importance of kindness, integrity and hard work in all of her four children. Her exceptionally close bond with her children not only made her a wonderful parent but their best friend. This remarkable love and bond with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is her greatest legacy.
