Aunt Evelyn was such a gracious woman. I will never forget how she contributed to my childhood memories.
My prayers and thoughts are with her family.
Aunt Evelyn was always very kind and loving to me. She will always have a very special place in my heart. She will be greatly missed by all of us.
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Evelyn’s passing. I will forever remember July Fourth bar-b-ques at her & Uncle Ernest’s house! Great memories. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
I will always have fond memories of 4th of July get togethers with Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ernest. I will also never forget her taking the “city girl” out to gather eggs and “slop” the pigs and how she laughed at the sight of me doing this. My thoughts and prayers are with all.
