"Aunt Evelyn was my great aunt. While we did not spend much time together recently I will always remember her from the family holiday gatherings of my childhood and the "women in the kitchen." What fun we had! She, my Grandma and Aunt Juanita, gave me the vision and standard for my own holiday gatherings today. Aunt Evelyn and I traveled to Holland together as my high school graduation gift. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I will remember her always with a smile and love. I'm very sorry I can't attend her services."
In loving memory of
Evelyn Marie Troth
