She is preceded in death by her brother, Leon Cordeiro II; her parents; sisters, Shirley Nelson and Eileen Averill; and beloved eldest daughter, Sheri Ann Dorathy.
She is survived by her son, Jerald York; daughter, Keri (Grant) Miller (née Dorathy); youngest brother, Leon Cordeiro III; grandchildren, Jason (Amanda) York, Raegan (Jared) Boekenhauer (née Miller), and Wyatt (Natalie) Miller; companion, Orvall Kuester; and great-grandchildren, good friends and loved ones.
Evelyn's wishes were to be cremated and interred alongside her family at Plains Cemetery. Any memorial that may occur will be handled by the family and will be a private affair.
