A much-loved Grandma. The day that God called your name it broke my heart into. But heaven needed an Angel and the one he picked was you. I just wish he could have waited and let you stayed with me. But you have left memories in my heart and that’s where they’ll always be. I just wish I could rewind the clock or make It turn real slow. I could have hugged you one more time before you had to go. No matter how much time will pass I’ll miss you every day. Keep shining bright in Heaven so you can light my way.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Glen “Pete” Murrell Evans; and her sisters, Ima Jean Sandifer and Margarrette Long.
Those left to cherish her memory include her brother, Van Dale Evans; sister, Elizabeth Freeman; her son, Douglas Bryan Robertson; daughters, Carolyn Jean Lacks, Dana Denay Chapman, Deborah LaShay Girlinghouse and DeAnn Renee Vickers; along with thirteen beloved grandchildren and many other family and friends.
