Eva Suez also known by many as ‘Effie’ was reunited with her beloved soulmate Charlie and best friend Eleanor whom she mourned the loss of deeply since 2021. May Eva and Charlie watch over and protect all of us who knew and loved them. Eva went on to her resting place leaving behind her beloved daughter and grandchildren, Lorie-Anne, Ryan, and Jessica, as well as many more deeply loved family members.

Eva was born in Germany in 1949 to Stanley and Erna Rudnicki. She was the sister of Eddie, Lotka, Kristie, and Ronnie. The family came to Canada when Eva was 2 years old. She knew Canada as home for almost her entire life. She met the love of her life Charlie when she was only 14 years old. She would always say at first how she never liked him because he broke one of her favourite records. It was a record breaking act on his part because somewhere along the lines it sparked her to fall in love with him. Eva and Charlie had a wonderful life together. They both worked hard to provide for their daughter Lorie-Anne. Eva was a store owner, a teacher, and ended her career in customer service. Nearing retirement, Eva and Charlie started to travel the world.

To know Eva was not only to love her, but also to know what the true meaning of love is. She modelled it in her relationship with Charlie, and with everyone she met. She had a way of radiating sunshine and love from her core. Whenever you were in her presence, she would always make sure you were taken care of, you would always be smiling. Eva loved the little things in life, she taught us that they were what mattered most.

She taught us all so many of life’s golden rules. To cherish moments, to be present, to smile, to just take it easy, to push through the hard times, the list goes on and on. She was the glue that kept many of us together through the hardest times. She was a rock, and a safe place to land. Whether you needed a shoulder to cry on or just a hug, she would always be thrilled to give it.

All Eva really wanted in life was to spend it with the people she loved, and she got to spend many years doing that with her family. Eva had love for her family the most, she held many gatherings and holidays at her home. Always making them extra special for her grandchildren. Eva was the definition of the world’s best nanny to Ryan and Jessica. Nanny’s place was always the best place to go when you needed a hug, a laugh, a smile, an ear, or just genuine pure love.

The love and lessons she gave will live on in all of us. Eva taught us to love a little deeper, and live more meaningful lives because of the way she lived hers. She was a ‘stop and smell the roses’, ‘look how pretty the sky looks’ kind of woman. She was a wonderful woman, really just WONDER WOMAN, she lived a wondrous life of love and happiness, and she filled us all with wonderful memories. She supported all of our little wonders. Now we are left wondering what we will do without her.

God’s garden is now more beautiful than ever, because he looked down and picked the absolute best. May your memory and love live on in all of us in everything we do, we love you forever.
