Ev Human
March 26, 1932 – October 16th, 2026
Violet Evelyn Human passed away October 16th, 2026 at the Atikokan General Hospital with family by her side. Ev was born March 26, 1932 in Keppel Township, Wiarton, ON to Herbert and Alice McElrea. Her early life was filled with stories of growing up in a small home with very little, to fond memories of picking blueberries with her family.
Ev graduated from the Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1953. She then married the love her of her life, Gary, on August 6, 1960. They moved to Atikokan with a promise from Gary of “only two years” so he could teach– this turned out to be their forever home. Ev proudly held the title of Director of Nursing at the Atikokan General Hospital where she was respected by many. Outside of her career, Ev enjoyed golfing, curling, traveling and baking. Even more, Ev loved spending time with her family. She could make everyone laugh with her rendition of the “Bow-Legged Chicken” song and dance; or make everyone feel comfort with lullabies that have been sung for generations.
Ev leaves behind her sister Shirley Parco; daughters, Brenda Buckrell (Miles), Jodi Human (Byron Bloesser); grandchildren Karen (Darin), Chris, Aaron (Mikey), Kristy, Kristin (Andrew), Emma (Paul), Steven (Sarah), Bridget, Chantal (Jesse), Myranda (Brandon), Krista (Matt); and great-grandchildren Ed, Nathan, Hailex, Ashlynn, Kellan, Eyan, Aileigh, Isaac, Ava, Chloe, soon-to-be baby brother to Chloe, Theo, Colton, Bernard and Franklin. As well as many nieces, nephews and extended family.
She was predeceased by her husband, Gary (JAG) Human on February 4, 2012, as well as her parents, son Curtis, siblings Willard, Winnifred, Joan, Barry and Keith.
