Evelyn Ruth (Fleischer) McGlothlin passed away on March 17, 2022, surrounded by her family. Evelyn was born on September 23, 1928, in Sheridan, Wyoming to Harold C. and Ruth E. Fleischer. After graduating from Sheridan High School, Evelyn attended Saint Mary College (Xavier, KN), Eastern Montana College of Education (Billings, MT) and Northeast Agricultural Junior College, Sheridan, where she earned a diploma in elementary education. In 1950, Evelyn married her life-long love, James (Jim) A. McGlothlin and they lived in Wyoming, Washington State, Montana, North Dakota, California, and Arizona. Along the way, they were blessed with their three children, and the family finally landed in Tucson in 1969. First and foremost, Evelyn was mother and homemaker. She was an avid gardener and her home was always surrounded by beautiful flowers. She enjoyed being wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt, and was beloved by many life-long friends. Her home was filled with memories of love and laughter, and she welcomed all visitors with a smile. Evelyn was preceded in death by spouse, Jim; brother, Harold Fleischer, Sr.; son, Doug McGlothlin; and grandson, Ryan McGlothlin. She is survived by son, Dan (Linda) McGlothlin, Fort Collins, CO; daughter, Denise (Andy) Edmonds, Tucson; nephew, Harold (Jane) Fleischer, Jr., San Antonio, TX; niece, Betsy Fleischer, Harrodsburg, KY; daughter-in-law, Jannine McGlothlin, Tucson; grandchildren, Kelley (Patrick) Dwyer, Lauren (Zach) Schroeder, Katie Anderson, Sean McGlothlin and Erin (Angel) Trejo; and great grand children Lily, Mac, Evelyn, Oliver, Aspen, Easton, and Skyla. Evelyn was a kind and gentle soul, pure of heart. She lived her life with faith, love, dignity and grace, and her family was her pride and joy. A Celebration of Life will be held Monday, April 11 at 1 pm. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider donating in her name to a military veteran charity, such as the Wounded Warrior Project, Fisher House Foundation, or National Veterans Foundation.
