Kita, Evelyn Jeanette (Orshinsky)
It is with tremendous sorrow that we announce the passing of Evelyn in her home, on December 8, 2016 at the age of 78 as a result of complications from cancer. Predeceased by her husband Joe in 1989, her father John (1990) her brother Peter Jack (2000) and her mother Dorothy (2003). Survived by her children Joanne Coley (Doug) Jackie Lynn Van Lankveld (Frank) and Joe Kita. Caring grandmother of Mary-Lynn, Hannah, Adam, Joseph and Leah. Survived by her brother Martin (Michelle) and sister in laws Christine Golchuk (Bernie)Mary Ann Kita (late Andy), Olga Kita (late Stan) and Jeanne Kline(Eddie). Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Evelyn graduated from the MACK training school for Nurses in St. Catharines in 1959. As a lifelong learner, she subsequently acquired 4 more degrees.
She worked in the operating and emergency rooms at St. Catharines General Hospital from 1960 to 1972 and then began her teaching career at the MACK school of nursing in 1972 until 1997 when she transferred over to Niagara College until her retirement in 2002.
Evelyn was involved in various community organizations including St. Catharines minor hockey, Niagara Catholic District School Board Trustees, and the Niagara Distress Centre, amongst others. Evelyn was also the owner/operator of Kita's Bakery.
As in everything she did, she fought her battle with cancer as a force to be reckoned with. The family extends a huge thank you to everyone that assisted in her care and well being over the past year and a half with special thanks to cousin Lorraine Beckett, sister in law Christine, niece Amy McCann, the incredible nursing and cleaning staff from 1West, rehab staff and Dr. Arvinte at Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehab, Dr. Jeremy Child, Dr. Ruo at Juravinski, PSWs from Para Med, Home Care nurses at St. Elizabeth and the chemotherapy nurses at Walker Cancer Centre, especially Marlene Lenz.
The family will receive visitors at GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL on 585 Carlton St., on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 from 3-7pm. Vigil prayers will take place at 6:45pm at the funeral home. A funeral mass will be held at St. Alfred Church, 272 Vine St, St. Catharines on Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 10am followed by a luncheon. A family burial will be held at a later time. Donations to the Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehab Centre, Niagara Children's Centre or Walker Cancer Centre would be appreciated by the family.
