Evelyn was a joy to be with. She had a caring heart and loving spirit and always an optimistic outlook, even when she approached her final days. Even as weak as she was, she said I'm ok.

Many of friends who had lost their parents, adopted Evelyn. She made friends wherever she went. So many people gravitated to her outgoing personality.
