Well known as a convener of a variety of social events, many remember Kaarine as a great cook, gardener and the "hostess with the mostest"! She also served as Treasurer of the Santa Claus Express for 28 years, and helped by portraying "Mrs. Claus" for 17 years.

While Kaarine lived at Teck Pioneer Residence, she took an active role serving on the Residents' Council and the Auxiliary. She was also the proud and loving grandmother of Tina, Peter, Jonathan and Christopher and great grandmother of Alexander, Adrianna and Joshua.

Kaarine Evans attended the opening of this exhibit despite being quite ill at the time. She died on July 11th 2012, within two months of the opening. Kaarine was a treasury of stories about her life, family, friends, travels and the 83 years she lived in and loved Kirkland Lake.
