Evelyn also lived for many years on Singer Island in West Palm Beach, Fla., attending St. Paul of the Cross Church. Evelyn and George later moved to Rancho Bernardo, Ca. where they spent their last years together. After George’s death in 2008, Evelyn moved to Kansas City where she resided at Bishop Spencer Place and was a member of Visitation Catholic Church.

Evelyn was deeply loved by her husband George and her large family for whom she spent her life giving generous love and devotion. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially the grandchildren who enjoyed many summers with "Mommer and Poppy" at their Indian Lake cottage. The family will fondly remember Mommer's sweet smile, great meals and the many wonderful moments throughout her long and happy life. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Evelyn Quatman Memorial Fund at Lima Central Catholic High School, 720 S. Cable Rd., Lima, Ohio 45805.
