I sure did love her. I have such fond memories of her coming to visit and staying with my Granny (Vivian). We would celebrate and worship and talk about the Lord. She made a huge impact in my life. I loved to see her crafts and especially the stained glass projects. She was such a giver and lover of people. She encouraged me many times and especially during these past 5 years of difficulty. She was a joy to be around. I wish I had gotten to LA to see her more often but sure did enjoy stopping in when we drove through. I liked how in her last couple years I would call her and since she was hard of hearing she would say "well you called me to hear me so I'm gonna talk" and she would proceed to give me a word from the Lord and share and encourage me even though I know she didn't hear much of what I was saying. I sure wish she had gotten to go back to Alaska like she wanted but I know where she is now is so much more than what Alaska ever was. I am thinking and praying for you all. I know you will miss her dearly. I hope I can be like Aunt Evelyn and even if people call me "preachy" I will take that as a complement. I loved her dearly and hope I can aspire to be half of what Evelyn was to me and make an impact on my nephews, nieces, grandkids, etc. May the peace of the Lord envelop you today as you celebrate her life; a life well lived.
My Aunt Evelyn loved her family dearly. She would always share stories with me about my mom and I always loved watching her when she came visit Mississippi at my grandmother Fouasnon, her sister’s shop in the Bay, A-1 Home Center/RadioShack. The sisters were very close. Aunt Evelyn was very humble woman God-fearing and we loved her so much! Both grandma Wanda Fouasnon and Aunt Evelyn were the Matriarch women in our family. Aunt Evelyn will be very much missed. Praying for her Family.
So sorry for your loss, for the few times I actually talked to he she was funny, had me laughing at Barbara all the time. Sending my prayers and love for the family.
