Mildred Evelyn Conger, 91, of Greenwood Village, passed away on June 29th. Evelyn was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Valentine's Day of 1927 to Robert Wade Grubb and Annie Dunbrack Tait. She was known to many as Evelyn, but most importantly as beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
In 1948, Evelyn married the love of her life, Charles Robert Conger. They brought up 5 children together.
After 68 years of marriage, Charles preceded Evelyn in death.
Evelyn was a bright light to her family, always putting everyone before herself. She was a true caregiver, taking care of many family members during the times they needed her, or they were ill. Her children classified her hobby as being an awesome mom, she was always there, watching, making sure they were doing well. Evelyn was honest, walked by faith, and was devoted to her family and God. She loved to sing to her children, and many times they remember hearing her beautiful voice sing Amazing Grace. Later in her life Evelyn enjoyed playing cards with her children, going traveling with Chuck in their RV, and reading.
Evelyn joins her parents, Robert and Annie; her husband, Charles "Chuck/Bob", and great granddaughter, Bailey with the Lord.
