Evelyn had a desire to live and enjoy life as long as she was able and fought to the very end to do all she could do during her well times. Whether it was beach trips with her friends to play bridge, sitting on the porch rocking, spending time with her family or visiting all the major shopping areas during a weekend beach trip, she tried to do all she could.
Evelyn spent many pleasurable hours enjoying the patio garden at Bunny and Charlie's home, soaking up sunshine, watching the birds and admiring the beauty of the flowers. To sum up the things Evelyn enjoyed, let us use the words from the Mother's Day card her grandson, Brian gave her this year, `Grandma, you can find fun in the simplest things. I love that about you.`
