Katherine Walker Evans

Mrs. Evans was a long-time friend of my mother Lottie Belle Burgess. They were friends as young women growing up in Huntsville and later in Delta Kappa Gamma as well as in other connections. My mother is not in good health but she joins me in sending our love and prayers to the family of her dear friend Mrs. Evans.

Dearest Dr. Godfrey...or didn't we call you Newt in the 40's? Your mother taught me in the 4th grade at West Clinton Elementary, and again in Huntsville High my senior year. Often, at West Clinton she would bring you to school with her.
I remember her as being awesome to
me and other students. In fact, she had an aura of bright light which touch all of us. Her life proved what a wonderful person and teacher she was. I often saw her at the beauty shop, and her sweetness carried over...

Doris McHugh and her daughter Jane Stull were so proud to be a sorority sister of Katherines. She was a CLASS LADY.We loved her.

It was a pleasure having Mrs. Evans as my teacher in the 4th grade, West Clinton and home ecomonics, Huntsville High. Mrs. Evans was always encouraging and positive with me. My sympathy to Dr. Newt Godfree and his family.

Dr. Godfree and family, Our prayers are with you. I had the pleasure of meeting your mother when she would visit Gadsden and stop by the office to see you. I know that you will always have fond memories of her.

I am sorry to learn of Mrs. Evans' death. I have wonderful memories of her dating from childhood, and she taught me all that I know about cooking, in home ec. She was always patient and kind, and made students feel as if they were capable of anything.
