My condolences to your family. Evelyn drove me to Sunday school and church for years! Many great conversations along the way. She was a great lady.
Grew up knowing Evelyn at the A&P stores! Awesome lady!
Evelyn was always an elegant grown-up presence at East Union on Sunday mornings, every Sunday of my childhood. I remember her mother, Mildred Odenkirk, also. Irene and Ralph, we are sorry for your loss. (From the Herman and Dorothy Lautzenheiser family).
My love and prayers to you all! I’m so sorry for your loss.
