Evelyn was an exceptional woman who loved her family, friends and her Lord. She exemplified Christ’s love while being a mother to her children, grand and great grandchildren. Proverbs 31:28 “Her children rise up and call her blessed.”
She was a member of Lakeview Baptist Church for 49 years. She taught bible school, sang, volunteered at Brian Center, played Canasta, loved to read, draw, paint, sew and garden, and boy could she cook.
Evelyn obtained certifications in Interior Decorating and Cake Decorating and went to work at her uncle’s hosiery mill, Twin City Knitting at age 60.
Preceded by her husband, Ralph R, Hartley, her parents, and two younger brothers, Evelyn is remembered by two children, Karen Hartley Hewitt and husband Kim, Joe D. Hartley and wife Janice Theresa, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
