Mrs. Evelyn Laura Lock

In Loving Memory of Evelyn Laura Lock, 91 Evelyn Laura Lock, 91, of Carriage House Retirement Residence, Oshawa, ON, previously of Albright Gardens, Beamsville, ON, died Monday, July 10, 2017 at Lakeridge Health Center in Oshawa. She was born May 15, 1926 in Toronto, Ontario. She is predeceased by her parents, Harold and Emily (Massena) Corscadden of Toronto; her brother Arthur, Toronto; her husband Rev. John A Lock of Beamsville; and her daughter Margaret Lock of Jordon. Evelyn is survived by her two sons and daughter, Douglas (Molly) Lock of London, Andrew (Sarah) Lock and Tammy Elizabeth Lock of Oshawa; three grandchildren Christopher, Jesse and Jovelle. During their marriage Evelyn supported John in his calling to become a minister and then in serving to support his pastoral charges in mainly small rural settings, including Plevna, Ardoch, Flinton, Lyndhurst, Seeley’s Bay, Sharbot Lake, Parham, Springville, Bailieboro, Maynooth, Lake St. Peter and Whitney. After retiring they moved first to Denbigh and then to Beamsville where they enjoyed several years at Albright Gardens, making new and reacquainting with old friends. In addition to her ministry work, she was heavily involved with the local Association for Community Living in all the communities she lived. Evelyn loved to cook and at one stage in her life ran a catering business with a friend. She enjoyed travel with an emphasis on seeing and exposing her family to the great wonders we have across the Canadian landscape. Evelyn loved and supported her children and grandchildren and even at great distances always wanted to know what everyone was up to and had words of support for all. Evelyn also regularly cared for her very active and energetic 9 month old grandson, Jovelle, over a 9 month period at the very young age of 75yrs to allow Tammy to pursue her career. A memorial service to celebrate Evelyn’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, July 30, 2017, at Trinity United Church, 4287 William St., Beamsville, Ontario. Close family friend Reverend Wayne Hilliker (retired) along with Reverend Heather Weaver-Orosz will be officiating. The internment of her ashes will be at the Mount Albert Cemetery alongside her husband and daughter at a later date, with immediate family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local Special Olympics or Association for Community Living.
