One of the greatest ladies I was blessed to spend time with. She was loved by all and she always had the greatest smile and compassion for all. I had the highest respect and admiration for Evie. She will be missed dearly.

Evelyn was easy to love. She was a wonderful woman. Now she's with her Lord along side her husband Elmer, who was also a true treasure. My memories of them both will always be in my heart.
