    Evelyn is surely going to be missed.
    She loved her children and grandchildren deeply as well as her Honey, Mr. Russ.
    She and her husband Russ
    (honey daddy) always liked showing up with sweets for Terri and Robert's girls, the grandchildren we shared.
    Another favorite thing she loved was the winter, snow especially and if she so happened to have snow on Christmas that was a huge bonus and made her extremely happy .
    My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family. May God bring you all peace and comfort as you prepare to say good bye/ see ya later.
