She has gone home to be safe in the arms of Jesus. Eva was the 9th and last child of Charles (Pa) and Jessie (Ma) Cousineau. She was predeceased by her many brothers and sisters: Russell, Beaulah, Leonard, Harry, Wilfred, Albert, Laura, and Allen. She is survived by her husband and partner of 53 years, Richard (Dick) Hunter, her three daughters, and nine grandchildren. Left behind to grieve are Helen (Rob) Mitchell of Calgary and their children, Andrew (Marissa), Patrick and Courtenay; Dixie (Keith) Rawlinson of Calgary and their children Sarah, Mattie, Tanya, Devin, Justin and Craig; and Jeanne Hunter (Bruce Madore) of Innisfail, and a very special little dog named Tee'so. Eva was born on the family farm North of Coronation, Alberta. She attended the Sugarbowl one room school house, then High School in Castor, then Coronation. She graduated from the A! lberta College in Secretarial Arts. Eva and Dick married on October 23rd, 1950. They raised three daughters, living first in Coronation, then Stettler, Red Deer, and finally Calgary. Eva returned to work, and spent many enjoyable years as the Lease and Grants Clerk at the City of Calgary. Eva loved life. She loved to dance, garden and travel. She loved people. She was kind and generous, and befriended many young women who considered her home their home. When Eva and Dick retired, they moved to Innisfail, where Eva's garden was her pride and joy. Eva's favorite song was Frank Sinatra's "My Way", and it can certainly be said that it was her motto for life. A service will be held for Eva in Innisfail at St. Mark's Anglican Church at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22nd, the Venerable Reverend Peter Millen presiding. Grave side service will be held at the Coronation Cemetery at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 25th. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer! Society.
