Evelyn Haines Obituary

Evelyn F. Haines, 83, of Scottsdale, Arizona, died May 8th after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She was born March 22, 1920 in Pawnee, Colorado. Evelyn was a versatile artist who captured moments of beauty from the world around her. The clean, clear wide open spaces inspired her to paint. She captured a time and place which we all long for in our hearts. Her animal portraits are beyond compare. She was featured in "Contemporary Western Artists". Private collectors include such notables as Sandra Day O'Connor, President and Mrs. Reagan, and Doris Day-as well as many corporate collectors. We are blessed to have her in our lives; she will be dearly missed. Her loving spirit and beautiful paintings will go on forever. Contributions may be made to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014 and the Arizona Humane Society, 1521 W. Dobbins Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85041. Messinger Indian School Mortuary assisted the family.
