Evelyn Perry Fox

Evelyn’s parents and grandparents were Germans from the Volga Region of Russia and instilled a strong work ethic and love of God and family in each of their children. Evelyn was a friend to all and being with family and friends was one of her greatest pleasures. Evelyn loved to dance the Dutch Hop and Lindy, play cards and decorate her home & garden.

This small town young woman and sister Leona were living in a one-room flat in Denver and working at a laundry when Evelyn met a handsome young soldier from Brooklyn New York, named Lawrence F. (Larry) Perry. When Larry was transferred, Evelyn left Colorado by bus to join Larry in Santa Ana, CA, with $50 in her purse. They were married in January 1944. Daughter Sheila was born in a military hospital a year later. After Larry’s discharge from the Army Air Force, the family moved to Brooklyn NY, where son Lawrence was born. In 1954, the family returned to Windsor and eventually settled in Loveland in 1960. Larry passed away on October 30, 1970.

Evelyn married Charles (Chuck) Fox, Jr. on November 19, 1971. Chuck passed away in 1990 after a lengthy illness.

Evelyn worked as a restaurant manager and hostess at several local restaurants and as a Walmart greeter until she retired at the age of 85. Evelyn always said that she enjoyed every job she had.
