Evelyn Rentschler Obituary
1922-2020
Evelyn Rentschler, 97, of Cincinnati died peacefully in the Bodmann Center at Maple Knoll on April 12. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don Rentschler, and is survived by her children, Kay and Lewis, and her grandchildren, Anna and James Rentschler.
Evelyn grew up in Coal City, Indiana and attended Indiana State University in Terre Haute. Married in 1945, she settled in Cincinnati with her husband and children in the late 1950s.
Evelyn loved the Cincinnati Reds, bridge, golf, and aerobics classes. She enjoyed reading the morning paper and whizzed through crossword puzzles, sudokus, and jumbles.
Evelyn will be remembered for her beautiful smile, quick sense of humor, and sweet nature.
A memorial service for Evelyn will be scheduled for a time in the future.

Dear Kay and Lew, How I remember your mom and our bridge group. It went on for decades. I've got pictures of all of us during some of those years when we were young. I admired Evelyn for her skill at bridge, cooking (I've got some of her recipes), and gardening. I never began to match her skill at golf. She was a natural. I'll never forget her and your Dad. I think I'm the last one alive from those days - so I salute you, Evelyn, you're deep in my life memories. And, Kay and Lew, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers saying goodbye to her.
