Evelyn was well known and loved in the community for her 30 years of service as a Kroger employee/ cashier.
Her hobbies included ceramic painting, sewing and crafts. Evelyn learned to drive later in her life which then opened up the world of many shopping trips with her sister Nonie. One love of her life was Pokie the yellow cat.
He is a feisty guy who for years was great company to Evelyn. He now lives happily with her daughter-in-law Hope. “Evie” always said the staff of the Blanchester Laurels was so good to her and there was no doubt she was a favorite there.
Thanks to the staff of the Laurels for their care. Evelyn’s family was the great love and center of her life. She will be missed but remain in our hearts forever.
