Peacefully at the Smiths Falls Hospital on Monday, September 7, 2015 in her 99th year. Beloved wife and partner of the late George Aldridge. Loving mother of the late Douglas Aldridge. Dear grandmother of Carina and Harrison Aldridge. Survived by her nieces Susan Bartlett, Linda McNaule (George) and Sandy McCallum and her daughter-in-law Janice Aldridge. Predeceased by her brothers Bert, Frank and Laurie. Evelyn had a very full life. She was kind, giving and devoted to her family in every way. Her career was rewarding. During the war she was seconded to the staff of the Governor General at Rideau Hall. Following the war she worked in the office of the former Cabinet Minister on Parliament Hill. After taking time out for her family, Evelyn returned to work at Carleton University where she spent 20 years as a departmental administrator of economics before retiring in 1979. She is well remembered by faculty and staff. Evelyn took great pleasure from playing bridge, euchre and golf with friends and was a member of the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. For many years she spent her winters in Daytona Beach, Florida, where she established many lasting friendships. Friends are invited to visit with the family at Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls, on Friday, September 18, 2015 from 6-8 PM. A Memorial Service will be held in the Chapel on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 11 AM. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Charity of Your Choice or the Evelyn Aldridge Bursary, Carleton University, would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences available at www.lannin.ca.
