Everyone knew what was most important to Evelyn: she was all about her family. She spent her years as a homemaker with her children and husband and was a grandmother for the ages. Of course, it wasn’t just her own family; just about anyone who walked through her door knew her love. Evelyn cooked with the best of them: anything Spanish (lots of rice and beans), spaghetti and chicken and plenty of hot dogs. She was devout in her faith and active for many years at First Baptist Church in Riverside. She loved anything with Tyler Perry and if her T.V was on she’d be checking out some Law and Order and catching up with her soaps.
She’d marry a handsome guy, the late Julio. Evelyn was blessed by 3 children, Julia (Michael) Barker, Ramon and Dava (Benny); and later by 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She is survived by her siblings, Robin McNeil, Andy (Kelly) Whitcraft and Georgeann (Everet) Whitcraft and lots of nieces and nephews.
Services celebrating 64 great years will be private.
