Evelyn was a world traveler and was very athletic, playing 6 on 6 basketball in her younger years and golfing in more recent years. She was an avid reader and excellent bridge player. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Evelyn, and she will always be remembered as a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Evelyn is survived by three adult children: Marcy Schlotfelt of Cedar Rapids, IA, Marty Jo Denicus of Davenport, and Kyle (Lisa Farrar) Schlotfelt of Arizona; two grandchildren: Rachel (Tony Hoffman) Denicus of Cedar Falls, IA, and Jenna Denicus of Davenport; her beloved great-granddaughter, Hazel Jo Hoffman; and siblings: Gail (Brasso) Federick, Nancy Derynck, and Lori Harris. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and son-in-law, Robert F. Denicus.

The family would like to thank the memory care staff at Ridgecrest Village and UnityPoint Hospice for their exceptional care, kindness, and compassion in Evelyn's final year.
