Evelyn cherished her family and was always there to help in any way. She had many names and wore many hats in her 70 years of life. She was fondly called Mom, Ev, Mema Evie, & GRN. She was the second Mom to so many and will always be greatly missed. She was supportive to her family and community; from giving to fundraisers, Special Olympics and small businesses just to name a few. She gave to anyone in need and opened her home to many that needed a place to stay through the years. She loved to laugh, and she taught her children how to love unconditionally by her example.
She had a lot of hobbies: From gardening, reading, baking bread and sugar cookies, sewing, crocheting blankets and stuffed animals. She loved spending time with her family, whether it was sharing a meal, playing Scrabble, putting a puzzle together or creating games like Hide the Thimble. She was very creative and artsy and loved giving to others without needing praise or recognition for it. She shared posts of encouragement daily on her Facebook page. Her favorite flowers are pansies, and her favorite color is yellow. Evelyn was a woman of grace and forgiveness. She had an incredible work ethic. She was a strong, beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She left her family with a lifetime of fun adventurous memories that will be shared for generations.
