Preceding her in death were her husband Leon Evans, a daughter Mary Ann Miller, 2 brothers, Tony and Randy Miller, a sister, Linda Organek as well as her parents.
She was beyond loved and missed by so many nieces and nephews, countless long term friends and had a special connection to Patty who helped her get through the end of her life.
