Elvina Marie Morton
24 November 1946 – 07 April 2023
Elvina Marie Morton was born in Huntsville, Ontario on November 24, 1946 to Ernest and Ethel Trainer.
She graduated with a nursing degree from the Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing in 1968 and came to Dryden to start her career in the pediatric ward of the hospital.
Elvina was the beloved wife of Edward Morton since September 20, 1969. They moved from town out to the Morton farm where she chose to be a full-time, stay at home mother and wife, raising their 3 sons in a loving home. She enjoyed the quiet hobbies of gardening and berry picking.
As their sons grew, moved away and had families of their own, Elvina enjoyed visiting her family and grandchildren as often as possible. Each family member and friend of Elvina’s knew she loved them deeply.
She was thankful for all thoughts and care towards her, but she always wanted to put the needs of others before herself.
At a young age Elvina committed her life to God and counted it a great privilege to love and serve Him with all her heart.
Her main joy was weekly fellowship meetings in their home and times spent with God’s servants, family, and friends.
Elvina’s deep faith in the living God brought great peace to her, especially in the months of declining health with cancer.
Elvina’s journey on this earth ended peacefully at the age of 76 on April 7, 2023.
Elvina was predeceased by her mother Ethel in 2006 and her father Ernest in 2012.
Elvina will be dearly missed by her husband Edward; sons Roger (Dawna) & their children Mikassa & Calista; Roland (Jan) & their children Jaden, Kidron, Ashlee, Alex, & Will; Gerald (Jayne) & their children Brie & Gavin; her siblings Eunice (Lyall) Byers; Norman Trainer; Eileen McCurdy; and several nieces and nephews.
