Born April 26, 1938, Evelyn was a native of New Orleans, LA and a resident of Kenner, LA for the past 59 years. She graduated in 1956 from St. Joseph Academy in New Orleans and received her nursing degree from Charity School of Nursing. She was the Assistant Director of Nursing for St. Anthony’s Nursing Home in Metairie, LA until her retirement in 2003.

Her joy in life was cooking great meals for her family and enjoying the time spent with them.

Her Southern hospitality was present throughout her personality as she always had a warm meal and an open door for anyone. Her compassionate nature radiated as a nurse for many years taking care of others. Whether you just met her or were a friend for life, you felt her kindness. Her motto was “always be kind and you’ll always be happy”.

The adoration for her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren was unwavering and she was affectionately known to them as Nana, and lovingly as Nanan to her niece Sharon Landry (David), and nephews Steve Foley (Karen), and Stuart Foley (Linda). She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and loved her dearly.
