Evelyn had a zest for life and offered a warm welcome to people she encountered every day. She loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious meals for her family, golfing with friends and volunteer work; however, her greatest joys came from being a caring wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
Evelyn also had two children from a previous marriage to the late Frank Lentini. Together they had two children and many more grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchildren.
