Evelyne, or Memere as she was affectionately referred to by her family, unconditionally, unselfishly loved her children and family supporting them in any way she could all her life. She loved reading and was extremely skilled in embroidery, and often made gifts of her work. Her purpose was to serve her family and she enjoyed making others happy.

To say that her family and friends will miss her greatly is an understatement. She was a cherished mother, aunt, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was unselfish to a fault.
