Evelyn Rivers

A church friend and neighbor, Evelyn was a source of help and joy to me. Once when I wanted a place to spend the night, her sofa welcomed me. Her apartment held wonderful plants, books and family pictures. When we realized we had a common friend/relative, Laura Margaret Winter, we went together to her funeral in Marietta. Sometimes we enjoyed laughs and rides to see the fall leaves or just to get a frozen yogurt! Her love of St. Mark church made her a valued volunteer staff member faithfully recording and writing notes to memorial contributors. In her modest, quiet way she gave more to friendships than she received. We shared a love of cats -- and, with her sister Margaret, meals at Mary Mac's!! She was an interesting person, with a beautiful spirit, who will be remembered and missed.

Evelyn Rivers was a loving friend to many. We celebrate her resurrection. She was a role model of positive aging. Joyce Horsley, co-founder of DASS and the Center of Positive Aging.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
