Evelyn Elizabeth Willson

was the loving daughter of Beda Matilda Walhberg and Norman R. Lay. She

was born in Garibaldi Oregon on September 9, 1926. She grew up in

Enumclaw Washington where the origin of many life long friendships would

begin. She met her "Buckley Boy" which was her first and continuous

true love, Lewis Walter Willson who she married on November 30, 1946.

Evelyn grew up during the great depression and learned, as did the rest

of her generation, that through honesty and hard work the worst of

conditions could be conquered. This then laid the foundation for an

attitude that would guide both Evelyn and Lewis through their life

together and her last 8 years after his death.

Evelyn leaves behind her four children and their off spring and cousin

Pat Olson.

Brandt Willson and his wife Patty and son Jeromy and his wife Laura.

Dennis Willson and his wife Sue Raley and their children Emily Willson,

Jessica Willson, Kevin Samulsen and his wife Jenny, Paul Carter Samulsen

and Mira. Kevin Willson. Malinda Willson McDonnell and her husband Tim

and their children Devin and Guy.

For all who knew Evelyn, loved Evelyn, and in turn felt her love, her

friendships are many and long lived and she will be missed but not

forgotten. Rest in Peace Princess.
