Evelyn was a pillar of strength in her community in both family life and her work environment and has left a lasting impact on everyone around her. Her dedicated work ethic and tender love and care allowed people to gravitate towards her and leave with a smile.
She was an amazing Mom and Nana that taught perseverance, discipline and strength along with the importance of making memories filled with adventure and humor. She enjoyed hiking, hanging out with her close knit group of cousins, sisters and tias, eating out and dancing to Earth Wind & Fire, George Strait, Los Lonely Boys and cumbias and spending invaluable time with her children and grandchildren.
