I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful lady, I was her hairdresser here in Pottsboro for many years and love her dearly. I am so glad she was able to be with her daughters in Austin the last years of her life but I have missed her so much. Prayers for all her family and friends.

Jackie and I have enjoyed knowing Evelyn in the past 2 years we have lived in GreenRidge Apts. at Buckner Villas in Austin. She was always a delight to be around. I was glad I could help her recently return an old picture plate to Tyler St. Methodist in Oak Cliff where she was married. She was pleased they wanted it back. We will miss her smiling face at GreenRidge.
