Eva Winslow Obituary

Eva (Lagasse), (Roberge) Winslow

Eva Evelina (Lagasse, Roberge) Winslow was born March 16, 1921 in Rolla, North Dakota the sixth of sixteen children to Dosithe and Josephine (Turcotte) Lagasse. She passed away on October 28, 2011 in Everett, Washington at the age of 90 years.
She attended Minot State Teachers College and taught school. Eva loved to make her dance costumes she had closets full of them. She had a gentle laugh and would always listen intently to who ever she was conversing with.
Eva married Edgar Roberge in 1941 and moved from North Dakota to "homestead" in Alderwood manor in the early 1950's. They raised eight children before divorcing in 1974.
In 1989 she married Arthur Winslow. Art and Eva enjoyed many travels together and were regulars at the square-dance hall. They gave up their nomadic ways for a quieter lifestyle to simply take pleasure in each other's company.
She is survived by her husband, Arthur Winslow of Everett, WA; children, Marie, Nicolette (Mark), Richard (Nancy), Thomas and Brian; ten grandchildren; and four great grandchildren.
Eva was preceded in death by her daughter, Renee; and sons, Roland and Douglas.
A Rosary/Vigil will be held November 3 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary Magdalen. Funeral Mass will be held November 4 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Magdalen. Burial will be held November 4 at 1:30 p.m. at Holyrood Cemetery.

On the wings of angles to be with the Lord.

Art, I am so sorry to hear of Eva's passing. I am also sorry I didn't see it in the paper as I would have liked to attended her memorial. You and Eva are two special people I have known. I have thought of you often since you moved from Country Manor. God's Blessings to You.
Love and Hugs, Joan:)

My heartfelt sympathies. It was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to talk with Aunt Eva the last time we met in Rolla. Teacher to teacher. Aunt to niece. History book to student. Kindness remembered.
