She grew up on the farm in the Granlee area. She married Keith Janowsky on October 18th, 1980, created many memories for us to cherish and has resided in Medicine Hat until her passing. She enjoyed company, cooking, baking, gardening, dancing, music and spending time with family, friends and grandchildren. Eva loved hockey (especially the Calgary Flames), enjoyed curling and attended all sporting events to cheer on her grandchildren. She also enjoyed travelling and entertaining for many different occasions. One of her favorite activities was her Sunday morning breakfast with her niece, Carole Werre. Her loving heart, wisdom and sense of humor will live on forever. Special thanks to Dr. Doug Mastel, all physicians and staff of 5 West, 2 North and Palliative Care.
