Evelyn Urquhart

Urquhart, Evelyn
Evelyn Urquhart (97) Passed away on April 20, 2015 from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. She was born in Evanston, WY on May 23, 1917, the third of four children to Thad and Ethyl Walton. In 1937, she married Robert Dean Urquhart and together raised their children, Barbara June (Harry) of Hamilton, MT and Tom Urquhart (Patty) of Clarkston, WA. In her last few decades, Evelyn spent summers on her Montana Ranch and winters in her home in Sun City West, Arizona. She was a beautiful lady in and old-fashion way and loaded with class. She loved to play bridge and played well; she did so until only recently when she believed her impaired vision caused hardship for her playing companions. She read (listened) to several books each week and was interested in a diversity of subjects from fiction to Russian history. Her mind was sharp to the very end. She was an artist who sculpted in stone, clay, bronze and wood. She was a silversmith, a stained glass artist, pilot, seamstress, chef, and held every station between wife and great-grandmother. Her sense of humor, wisdom and loving encouragement will be missed by all of those who knew and loved her. Evelyn was the sole survivor of her family generation and was preceded in death by her loving husband Robert of 73 years and grandson Robert Daniel Maxey. There will be a remembrance celebration of Evelyn in Montana on July 11, 2015. In memory of Evelyn the family welcomes donations to any animal shelter of your choosing.
