Eve Roberts was a force of nature. Born in Watford, England in 1934, she grew up to be a rebel, marrying young and having four children at an early age. She was not content with being just a mother, and with a partner started an entertainment agency in the UK, booking bands, comedians, and entertainers for local clubs and pubs. That is how she met – and later married – her second husband John, who, after 52 years of marriage, survives her and still lives in Mount Forest. Eve and John emigrated to Canada in 1977, after a short visit in 1976, and Eve decided to switch careers and became a successful Real Estate Agent, first in Toronto, then Brampton and Waterloo. When the opportunity came along to purchase the Ford dealership in Mount Forest, John and Eve moved here in 1989 and took over, successfully running the business for 14 years until selling and moving to semi-retirement. Eve had her three daughters join her in Canada over the years. Unfortunately, daughter Lynne died young, Kim moved back to England, and Wendy married and is living in Canada with her husband Wendell, two children, and three grandchildren, Eve’s great grandkids. Eve is survived by her husband John, daughters Kim, Wendy, and son Michael, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by her many friends and family. Thanks to the staff at Louise Marshall Hospital for their care and making the last few days of Eve’s life comfortable. A celebration of life will be held at a later date – details will be announced. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Eve are asked to consider the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation or the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. Arrangements entrusted to the England Funeral Home, Mount Forest.
