Evelyn Gorringe

My deepest sympathy to Evelyn’s family. My late husband Barry drove her to appointments and to the airport on several occasions and he loved their time together. I was lucky enough to meet her a couple of times. Thinking of you all and remembering Evelyn fondly.

My condolences to Mrs. Gorringe’s family. I remember her from my years as a student at Burnham Public School.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Evelyn. We will truly miss her. We loved having her come into the office, she was such a joy to chat with. She was the kindest, sweetest woman. Rest in Peace.

My sincere condolences to Eve’s family.I met Eve through the Probus .She was always smiling , happy and so full of energy. We will miss her .

Eve’s smile and bubbly personality will be missed at our Probus functions. Our thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time.

My condolences to Eve's family. She was a beautiful soul with a wonderful smile. She touched all who knew her in such a positive way including the many, many students that she taught over the years.

I knew Eve through her participation in the Cobourg Duplicate Bridge Club. Her company was delightful! Always delightful! We will miss her.

eve was a very sweet kind lady and she will be sadly missed by her family and friends i remember when she helped me with my lawn bowling skills whenever we played a junior lawn bowling game she would always offer me juice we all miss you and we will meet again soon!

Fond farewell to Eve, a lovely person who exhibited a kind and warm demeanor. Linda Syrota Fellow Probus Member

We enjoyed some wonderful times with Eve through our Probus Club. She loved our excursions, theatre trips and special events (especially dressing up for Halloween!). Eve had a real zest for life and we will miss her sunny smile.

I have many happy memories of staying with Eve and Tony when I was an exchange teacher in Cobourg in the early 70’s. We have remained in touch ever since and I have admired her amazing resilience and spirit. She was always kind and supportive. I was pleased to be able to visit her on my last trip to Canada. A true British Londoner!

Sincerest condolences to Eve's family from her condo neighbours. We loved our visits with Eve; she was both a great storyteller and listener. Eve was a gentle, cheerful, strong and independent woman who always had a positive story and something nice to say. We will miss her and remember her big smile and generous nature very fondly.

I will miss her "joie de vivre."

My deepest condolences to your family, Sue. My heart is with you and the family as you navigate this immense loss. Sending love

The Evie Ready Bunny Beats The Drum No More. Enormous personally is such a tiny body. Your smile, laugh and girlish giggle will be remembered by the many fortunate to have met you. Our thoughts are with your family and friends Eve. Rest well.

Kevin and I met Eve when we moved to Dalewood Court in Cobourg in 2000 and have been friends ever since. She would come to our house for dinner and scrabble and we would go to her house to do the same. We would go out for dinners, to the theatre in Port Hope or Toronto and always had a great time. We moved 4 times since Dalewood Court and Eve once but we always stayed in touch and got together. It was a shock to hear you passed away when we just spoke last week. You will be missed you were like a second mother to us.

I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Eve. She was such a lovely lady and a good friend. My thoughts are with her family. Liz Muir

You may not have been my birth mother but I could not have asked for a better or more loving mom. You will always be remembered and loved. Miss you so much.

We met Eve through our Probus club and I remember her well for her wonderful smile and her cheerful disposition. I recall helping her to learn how to work her new IPad during the pandemic so that she could continue to join in with Probus meetings on Zoom. She was an amazing lady and will be missed.

Eve was my bridge partner at the Cobourg Club since games restarted after the pandemic. She was always cheerful and smiling and it was a pleasure to play with her. She will be sorely missed at the Club and by everyone else who knew her. My sincerest condolences to her family.

Eve and I were next door neighbours in the Condo Building. If Christmas Day was on a week day we ate our turkey dinners together and then with our own families on the Christmas week-ends. Every year she repotted her own flowers. I can still see her dragging those overweight bags of soil from her garage, past my window. We both thought positive and enjoyed each others company, always. God Bless!

Everyone who met Eve liked her so much, and admired her energy and spirit. She was a real force of nature in our condo. The garden at the corner of George and James is because of her. She's my "garage partner"; we moved here with matching cars and when we both got new cars we chose to match again. I, as well as all who knew her, will miss her smiling face and cheery nature immensely. My sincere sympathy to your family.

Eve will be sorely missed for her smile, cheerfulness and energy.. She was one in a million… REST IN PEACE EVELYE Love Pat and Greg LeClair

We had the distinct privilege of experiencing Eve’s wonderful warm and joyful personality through our PROBUS club events. She loved life and lived it to the fullest. Eve- you will always be remembered. Ron and Barb Swallow

We are saddened greatly by this announcement of Eve’s passing. May much comfort be with the family and friends who knew and loved her. She will be greatly missed by all of the McKendrick family, especially Alma, her close companion on vacations, bridge club, lawn bowling as well as sharing and chatting about their favourite books.

It is with great respect that I send most heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs. Gorringe. She was a wonderful person who inspired me, as a young child at Burnham school, to a love of learning and reading. I will be forever grateful. 🌸

Just recently, I met Eve at the Public library, and we remembered our connections through our work as teacher-librarians in the Elementary school system. Seems appropriate that our last conversation took place in such a familiar setting. Good memories.

We were so sorry to learn of Eve’s death. We will certainly miss her always cheerful outlook on life, her stories of her early life, her decorating the Christmas “trees” at the back of our building. She was a very strong and determined person, whether it was sweeping out her garage or looking after the corner garden on the property. Our condolences to her family.

Sue and family - thinking of you. ❤️ My deepest condolences. Sharon

So sorry for your loss. Eve was a wonderful person. I got to know her over the last few years from Probus and our bridge group that she hosted every Monday. She will be missed very much.

What a lovely person and accomplished bridge player. Kindness and a willingness to help were wonderful attributes. Enjoyed a number of lunches and dinners with Eve and friends. She was a wonderful host. I offer sincere thoughts and condolences to family and she will be truly missed. Ron

We're so sorry to see that Eve has passed. My mother and Eve spent many hours at the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club enjoying the sport and visiting with many friends. She was a lovely lady who will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace Eve.

I’m so sorry to hear about Eve. She was a caring and loving person and a skilled Bridge player. Her smile will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Eve was a cherished member of the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club. I will especially miss the cheery and positive attitude she had when volunteering to help me with organizing & running our Open Tournaments. My condolences to Eve's family.

No one could tell a story like Mrs. Gorringe! I can still hear her voice, reading “James and the Giant Peach.” We would all be sitting at her feet, captivated!

My condolences to Mrs Gorringe s loved ones Mrs Gorringe was a lovely person. I enjoyed her company best at Burnham school. The kindness, the amazing stories. The lessons. I hope you all take comfort in the many memories you share.

I love you grandma Eve. You will be forever missed and every memory will always be cherished.

I knew Eve from playing cards at the Cobourg Duplicate Bridge Club. She always walked into the playing area with a big grin. She had more energy than some people half her age. She was a delight to play against and her smile and warmth will be sorely missed.

Evelyn was a lovely lady whom we did work for on her house and property for many years… always a pleasure to work with and we were always greeted with a smile. We will miss her. Condolences to her family!
