Evelyn E. Youngs, 72

Evelyn lived a life of service to her family, ensuring all were provided for and loved unconditionally. She was her mother’s caregiver from her childhood through many years of her adult life, even as she began her own family two houses down the street. Her selflessness was shown daily as she managed to prove there is no greater love than that of a mother and a child. She enjoyed puzzles, birdwatching, drives around the lake, crafting, gardening and cooking. Evelyn’s greatest joy was her grandchildren and great grandchildren, watching them grow and all the joy they brought. Everyone could tell the humor she had by seeing the sweet, yet ornery smirk on her face when spending quality time with her family.
