Evalyn worked at Tony’s Pizza, Phillips Lighting, and Windsor Estates where she loved to visit with the residents. Evalyn loved her family, Mountain Dew, enjoyed traveling in their Winnebago to craft shows and visiting family in Omaha and Branson. She may have run over a few mailboxes in their travels. Her and Raymond spent years making and selling marionette puppets they crafted with great love. They loved to see people walking with their puppets at the craft shows. On New Year’s Eve she would watch the grandkids so the adults could enjoy a night out. The midnight ritual the grandkids would grab pots, pans and a spoon, and heading to the front yard to ring in the New Year, a memory the grandkids love. Evalyn was one of 7 founding members of the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society in Salina, Ks at 211 W. Iron second floor, where she loved to work on her family tree and wanted to share that love of genealogy with everyone. Her last visit was this year with son Tim. Cremation was chosen and a celebration of life will be planned at a later date. Memorials can be made to the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society in care of Heier Scott Mortuary and Cremations, 1920 East Crawford Street, Salina, Ks 67401.
