She was an exemplary & devoted wife to her husband, “Cotton”, of 65 yrs. She was a kind, compassionate, and doting mother to her children and grandchildren. Evelyn possessed a unique personality that allowed her to “never meet a stranger”. She loved to entertain and she & Cotton frequently had family & friends in their home for food, fun, and good times. She was a “people person”, an encourager, and the “life of the party”. She loved to laugh & joke with people. Evelyn worked for more than 30 yrs as secretary for the Mesquite Church of Christ. During the last few months of her life, after her illness was diagnosed, she demonstrated the love of Jesus to all the medical staff at the doctor’s office and the hospital, never complaining about all she was expected to endure. She passed from this earthly life with the help of her Lord, with tremendous grace & dignity, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Thanks be to God for this wonderful Christian lady.
