Evelyn lived across the street from us. Her presence constantly reminded us of what neighborliness should be. She'd look after our home when we were gone. Children in the neighborhood, including our daughter, became part of her extended family. During the holiday season she made candy and delivered plates to neighbors. She kept her property immaculate, joking that she didn't really vacuum her lawn as our young daughter claimed. The neighborhood has lost a good neighbor.
We helped Evelyn with her lawn care for a few years. She enjoyed being outdoors with us; she liked having a nice looking property. Evelyn always seemed to be busy, yet took time to visit with us and get to know us. She will be missed.
We lived next door to Evelyn for 38 years. She was a great neighbour and a good friend. She cared deeply aobut our children and, later, our grandchildren. She baked cakes for them on their birthdays, carried pictures of them, and always looked forward to visting with them. When we were on vacation she looked after our house as if it were her own. We will miss her very much.
Evelyn's home was in close proximity to Shimek Elementary School and since I have worked there for 23 years, I have had much contact with her. Evelyn was always very interested in Shimek's daily life and various activities and all the children who were students, particularly the walkers passing by her house. We will miss Evelyn's neighborliness and the candy at Christmas! Blessings to Mrs. Kral from your Shimek School neighbors.
I used to work with Evelyn at Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. She trained me for my first job there. She was always very patient and on top of everything. She always sent me a birthday card every year even after we left the phone company. We always stayed in touch. She was a true friend and will be missed.
My sympathies go out to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
