Evelyne Fox Obituary
Evelyne "Evi" Fox was born in Berlin, Germany, to Fritz Mokolies and Hilde Franke. If you know Evi at all, you know we cannot disclose her date of birth, as her age was a well-guarded secret. She had one brother, Rudi Mokolies. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Gary Fox; her two nieces in Germany, Claudia Mokolies and Birgit Jurack, Birgit's husband Thomas, and their daughter Frederike. Evi's "American Family" includes her sister-in-law and numerous surviving nieces and nephews.
She was the owner of Albuquerque Kanine Kollege and touched numerous lives (human and canine), through her tireless efforts leading obedience classes and agility training. She truly loved her work and told us that she had no regrets and had lived the life of her dreams. Evi was known for her smile, her sense of humor, and her loud "bark."
If this news comes as a shock to you, please know that Evi had every intention of contacting her beloved friends and students personally but was taken very quickly by cancer. She kept her sense of humor until the end and passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 28, 2020. A Live streamed Memorial will be held Monday, July 6, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Please visit our website for the link as well as our online guestbook for Evi at

I am so sad to see that Evi has passed. I was actually looking up her class calendar because I was thinking of rescuing a dog with a lot of issues and I know she could have helped me. Evi’s novice drill helped me get CD titles on three of my dogs. She was my go-to for getting a dog ready to compete in the ring and oh by the way she taught me just as much if not more than my dogs. I know she thought many times I was not ready to compete with a particular dog but that’s okay because she taught us enough to accomplish our goals. I’ll always remember her using a Home Depot pouch for her hot dog treats. She really had a soft spot in her heart for dogs and when you got to know her you saw the same care for people too. Wow she will really be missed in the small world of Albuquerque dog training.

I just found out about your passing. I met you last January and I knew from that one meeting that you were a special person.
Rest well and hang out at the Rainbow.

We have lost a friend, a mentor, a trainer, a class to look forward to, someone who can read us and our dogs, a shoulder to lean on, a confidant - we will miss you more than you'll ever know, as do our dogs.

My deepest condolences to the family, human and canine. Evi's bluntness and humor and hotdogs made me laugh.
I didnt know her that well but I can picture her saying, "get this d.... thing over with" because she had other things she wanted to do.
I am sure the Lord has a home for Evi with all of her canine companions and hot dogs.
Till we meet again.
Blessings
