Evelyn Marie Johnson
born in Toronto June 13 1917
Parents; Harold & Mary Johnson (nee Mary Ellen Butler of Mildmay)
Evelyn's mother passed away in 1920 and she was raised by her stepmother Gertrude (nee Philips of Mount Forest) AKA Grandma Gerty.
Evelyn Married Allan Raynor July 29th 1942 at Sherborne St. United Church and became known to some as EMR but to the 5 of us as Mom.
Mom was involved with the United Church as a Sunday school teacher as a young adult, declared her belief in the Baha'i Faith in 1945, and while functioning as the supreme homemaker dedicated much of her time to groups like the local UN Association, as well as numerous and varied administrative and social capacities within the Canadian Baha'i Community.
Mom spent most of her life in Toronto but moved to Port Hope after my father's passing in 1979.
In 1992 Mom moved into an apartment at my home and then to a Nursing home in Midland, Ontario where she past away December 23rd 2005.
Happy Birthday Mom
