Barbara L. Evans ,82, passed away in the comfort of her home on August 3, 2025 surrounded by her family. She was born and raised in Blackfoot, Idaho on April 5, 1943 to Earl and Mary Lamb. Where she later met her beloved husband of 50 years Floyd Junior Evans. Barbara and Floyd began a family with their 3 beautiful girls, which later grew into 7 grandchildren , 22 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.

In 1973, they moved to Utah where they began their journey of raising a family and running their own company. They enjoyed spending quality time out with family and friends anywhere grandpa could fish. Barbara loved gardening, crocheting, quilting but most importantly her grand children Jenifer Spatz, Jason(JoAnna) Spatz, David Evans, Carina(Michael) Manning, Matthew(Megan) Carter, Tanya(Levi) Henry, Casey Raymond, and all the little ones that came from them. She was the best listener, always supportive, and gave the best advice but always told you just exactly how it was. In later years, they relocated back home to the place they fell in love, Blackfoot, where they retired and lived out the rest of their years.

She is survived by her children Julie(Doug) Spatz, Tammy Raymond, Lori(Cary) Carter. Siblings Velma Butler, Mary-Jean Walters, Doyle(Myrna)Lamb, Verl Dee Lamb, and Betty Hribovsek. As well as several brother and sister in laws. She is preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Mary Lamb, her mother and father in law, Daisy and Ernest Evans, her loving husband Floyd, and many siblings from both sides. A celebration of life to honor her and cherish our memories will be held on September 13, 2025 at Belmont Hot Springs in Plymouth, Utah starting at 1 with a luncheon at 2. Anyone is welcome to join the family doing what she loved camping for the weekend.
