STORCH – Eve, Storch, 1931 – 2005. Eve, beloved wife of John of Morrin, Alberta, passed away June 22, 2005 in the Drumheller Hospital. Born to Cap and Rena Thompson on March 24, 1931, Eve was pre-deceased by her parents, brother Joe and sister Alice, sons Gordon and Ted and grand-son John Bradley. During their fifty-eight years together, Eve and John lived in Rumsey, Cavendish, Drumheller, Calgary, and retired to Morrin. Eve’s gentle way, her sense of humour, and skills as a hostess will be missed by family and friends. During these years she was an active member of the Eastern Star and the United Church of Canada, and was a member of the Rumsey Royal Canadian Legion. Her love of music and talent at the piano was evident in the many students she taught, the years she played for church services, and the accompanying of soloists at countless occasions. One of her joys was providing advice to her great-grand-daughters who are learning the piano. Eve worked at the Drumheller Associated Clinic and the Chinook Medical Clinic, where her contributions to the management of the clinics was appreciated and helped to create many lasting friendships. Her loves of all things chocolate and cooking were appreciated by children of all ages. Eve was gifted at knitting, sewing, crocheting, quilting and tatting and many people benefited from her skills. Always one to enjoy a bad pun, a good party, a sing song, or games of any description, Eve’s home was open to welcome family, friends and strangers. Her titles were many . Momma, G.G. (Great-Grandma), Neighbour Lady, Aunty Eve, and she enjoyed saying that she was “Just Eve”, with no middle name and teased every Adam she met. Eve will be deeply missed by husband John, their family Diana and Ken Meller, Jim and MaryAnn, John and Nancy, Deborah and Rick Matheson, Val Duenk, ten grandchildren, eleven great-grand-children, and extended family. A celebration of Eve’s life will be held at the Morrin Community Hall, at 2:00 pm on Monday, June 27th. If friends so desire, contributions may be made to the Drumheller Cancer Society or to the Drumheller CAT Scan Project, in lieu of flowers. Arrangements entrusted to the Alderwoods Group, Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Chapel of Drumheller.
