I knew Evelyn through Temple and over the last several years as a friend of Melba's.
She was a lovely lady and was so proud of her family.
You are in my thoughts.

To Evelyn's family, I worked with Evelyn at Sears Roebuck for a number of years. She was affectionately known as Mama Turtle. Evelyn was a delight to be with and I am truly sorry for her passing. Nancy Crawley
