Evelyn Hendricks Obituary
Oneida - Evelyn Mae Hendricks, age 85, of Oneida, passed away on Tuesday, April 10, 2018. She was born on February 24, 1933, to the late Alfred and Marie (Van Lanen) Zepnick. Ev was united in marriage with Orville Hendricks on September 2, 1953. As lifelong members of St. Joseph's Church, Orv and Ev served in various ministries and activities. They were married for nearly 65 years and were the most loving and solid example of a marriage - best friends, deeply devoted, and strong through all seasons of life.
Orv and Ev were dairy farmers for most of their career. They later developed Rolling Heights subdivisions and changed the landscape of the neighboring counties by moving thousands of trees with a spade.
They took their family on several road trips, explored Hawaii and the Canadian Rockies, and enjoyed annual family reunions.
Ev was an avid bowler, an accomplished seamstress, and a creative do-it-yourselfer. She enjoyed gardening and birds. She lavished her love on her husband, children, and grandchildren, serving others joyfully all her life. Her faith was a rock solid inspiration. She trusted in God wholeheartedly and prayed lovingly and faithfully for all her family and friends.
Ev's memory will be carried on by her husband, Orv; children, Marilyn Bazett-Jones, of Green Bay, Laurie (Bill) Beckman, of Granger, IN, Len (Linda) Hendricks, of Lodi, WI, and Lyle (Kathy) Hendricks, of Orofino, ID; grandchildren, Zach Westerman, Alyssa Westerman, Jason Beckman, Chris Beckman, Ryan Hendricks, Stephanie Hendricks; and siblings, Delores (Patrick) Thornton, Jean (Robert) Haynes, Don (Jeanne) Zepnick, Sally (Mike) Wassenberg, Jerry (Judy) Zepnick, and Dick Zepnick.
In addition to her parents, Ev was preceded in death by her infant son, Joseph; son-in-law, Ted Bazett-Jones; siblings, Florence (Bob) Leininger, Rita (Larry) Barrette, Vernon "Bud" (Bev) Zepnick, and Eddie (Jean) Zepnick; and infant brother, Robert Zepnick.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 15, 2018, at Lyndahl Funeral Home, 1350 Lombardi Ave., from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Visitation will continue on Monday, April 16, 2018, at St. Joseph's Parish, 145 St. Joseph Dr., Oneida, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. A Mass to celebrate Ev's life will begin at 11:00 a.m. Entombment will be in the Allouez Catholic Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ev's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN or Operation Smile in Virginia Beach, VA.

Dear family of Evelyn! Our lives have touched in so many ways. My late husband, Jerry went to grade school with her, I drove school bus for her sons and later attended church with her daughter! She was truly a lovely and loved lady! Prayers for your family.

Our deepest condolences to the whole family.
We remember many times playing cards with Ev and Orv.
When mealtime came around when we were visiting, Ev would put a meal together so fast, you would think she was expecting us.
She was always willing to have the family gatherings at the farm, and it was a great time.
I remember staying with Ev and Orv when I was a teenager, and helping in the garden. We would have fun seeing who could slice the cheese the thinnest. Crazy times, but they were fun! I'll miss her dearly, not because I saw a lot of her as years went by and we moved , but because I thought of her often and how close we once were.
