AVERY, Elda Ruth (nee Fogal) - Passed away peacefully with family at her side at Fosterbrooke Long Term Care, Newcastle on Saturday, March 28, 2020 in her 92nd year.
Predeceased by her husband Harold in 2000.
Elda farmed for many years in Enfield and raised 4 children who will miss her gracious nature immensely: Ron (Sharon), Sharon Schoonderbeek (John), Darlene Pilkington (Stuart) and Sandra Thompson.
Elda was also known for her famous chocolate chip cookies enjoyed by her grandchildren: Mark (Erin), Brent (Trish), Jill (Brian), Lisa (AJ), Jen, Andrea (Andrew), Nicole (Kaillum), Derek and Crystal. She was the proud great grandmother of five and a new arrival expected soon.
A private graveside service will be held for immediate family only due to the current environment. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
You can still show your support by planting a tree in memory of Elda Avery.
The family would like to thank the staff at Fosterbrooke for their excellent care given to our mother.
In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully acknowledged to the Alzheimer Society of Durham.
