Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Edward Stills, and her son, Kenneth Edward Stills.

Survivors include her children, Sandra Young of Santa Clara, CA, Wade Stills of Luka, MS, and Gail Gustetic of Medart, FL. Three brothers, Roger Harrison, A. L.

Her grandchildren include Matthew Young, Darla Butterfield, Cody Harrell, Andy James, Chelsea Carter and Rachel Gustetic and 10 great-grandchildren.
