Eva Marie Daniel (Wiehler)
March 4, 1926 - January 8, 2023
Tribute
Eva-Marie Daniel (nee Wiehler) passed into heaven on Sunday January 8, 2023. Later that afternoon her home was filled with friends and family for 3:00 coffee time. This was always her favorite part of the day, especially when someone came to visit.
Eva was born on March 4, 1926, in West Prussia. She was the fifth child in a family of 13 kids. After WW2 she was sponsored by MCC to work at a hospital in Pennsylvania, USA, for one year. This prepared her for Herbert’s proposal in 1956. “Will you marry me? I’m immigrating to Canada.” She said “Yes!” Canada was full of adventure: getting married within one week of arriving, working at Vancouver General Hospital, moving to North Delta, building a house and making a home for her husband and three children. She was active at Kennedy Heights Church helping at Pioneer Clubs and always practicing hospitality. After the children grew up she worked at Fairweather clothing store, took a hairdressing course and then an LTC course. She worked in a senior care facility for a few years. Later she volunteered for many years at MCC’s second hand store.
When her husband died in 2012, she invited a group of widows from Central Heights Church to her home for coffee every Sunday at 3:00. This tradition continued right until December 18.
She lived a long and full life surrounded by people who loved her.
She is survived by her children, Doreen (Tim Buhler) Evita, and John as well as grandchildren, Daniel (Kristina), David (Nicole), Heidi, James (Melissa) and Laura (Zach Janz) and 8 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of Eva’s life will be on February 18 at 3:00 in Nickel Hall at Central Heights Church.
