Aunt Evelyn was one of the neatest people to have as a family member. She used to take us kids out to get the cows when we came to visit, and always knew how to have a good time with us. She could milk the cow and spray milk right into a barn cat's mouth! Now that was cool! She will be missed sorely.

We will always remember Evelyn Alexander for the Sweet Smile of Jesus she shone from the choir loft at Clover Bottom Baptist Church.

Her independent, yet gentle spirit greatly inspired us. We know her presence beyond makes heaven a sweeter place. God bless!
