To my cousins and their families,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my favorite Aunt. She was so kind, loving, tender, and gracious. I loved her laugh. I will always treasure the memories at Grandma's when we kids would play on the front lawn and you could hear the laughter inside grandmas. I know grandma greeted Aunt Evie with opened arms and the two of them are having a ball in heaven. Hugs to you all, Marcia, Ted, Sarah and Brian Rathfelder

With deep sympathy to the family of Evelyn Mosman. I was a member of the La Casa Garden Club and worked with Evelyn for many years. Her kindness, attitude, and wonderful personality will be missed by so many. She was without a doubt one of a kind. Evelyn always did her very best in whatever she was asked to do. She believed in Service before Self.
You will never be forgotten. Liz Weeth, Morro Bay, California.

My love, thoughts and prayers to her family. Evelyn was a wonderful friend and the best traveling companion a person could ask for. We had many memorable trips--Greece, Alaska, the Caribbean, Mazatlan, Washington and New York--plus the trips here in California. Spur of the moment trips to the coast, and our dinners at Roger Rockas...I will never forget all the great times we had. She was a wonderful nurse and a mentor to so many new nurses.I will really miss you, Evelyn. I love you. Margaret

As a new sugery nurse at Sacred Heart Hospital Evelyn took my under her wing. I worked with for my injoyable years. She got me involved in the Association of Operating Room Nurses in Fresno. Years later the Kings and Tulare County OR nurses started our own chapter. Evelyn served as the first president. She was always very caring. I don't think I ever heard a harse word from her. She would take new nurses under her wing and was an excellent instructor. We nicknamed her "Momma Duck" with us all following her.
She will be greatly missed
