We will miss Evelyn, our sister in Christ. She was one of our most faithful members, always willing to do whatever she could as long as she could. May God bless.
Evelyn’s faithful presence at Oakgrove was an encouragement to me and I am sure to many others, she will be missed.
So sorry to hear about Evelyn, many happy memories of summers in Mills River with the Connelly’s, love to all. Prayers and hugs all around. Lucy Cunliffe Hall
My condolences to Evelyn’s family.
I had the good fortune to work with Evelyn at American Enka for a lot of years. She was a faithful and talented employee, always eager to help, always supportive to us fellow workmates.
She was a fine lady; glad to have been able to call her a friend. Dick Allen
