Evelyn Jean Peterson
October 1, 1931 – June 30, 2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Evelyn Jean Peterson (nee Derksen) on June 30th, 2023 at Preston Extendicare. Evelyn was 91 years old. Mom was born near Saskatoon on October 1, 1931. She remained in the Langham, Dalmeny, and Saskatoon area until October 1963, when she moved to the Brightsand Lake area and married Clarence Peterson in December of that year. Mom was a shy homebody who had a knack for making tasty meals. Nothing came close to Mom’s soup made with veggies from her garden. Mom enjoyed searching for new recipes and loved the farm animals. In 2000, she returned to an apartment in Saskatoon and enjoyed her independence and connecting with her side of the family again.
She leaves to mourn, her daughter: Carol (Bob) Fisher of Hafford, SK. and Connie (Millar) Iverson of Calgary, AB. and six grandchildren. She will be missed by nieces and nephews. Evelyn was predeceased by sons Gary and Neil, brothers Ben and Sam and infant brother Johnny, sisters Dorothy and Sandra, and her parents John J. Derksen and Emma (Sukkau).
We wish to thank the loving staff at Preston Extendicare for their excellent care and Sylvia and Nelson Reimer for providing check-ins and transportation to appointments.
A Graveside Service will be held at a later date.
Arrangements entrusted to Dalmeny Funeral Home 306-254-2022.
