Evelyn Louise Briggs

Prior to a successful lung transplant almost 5 years ago she had been a 25 year employee of the Baptist Hospital System. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Dwight J. and Evelyn S. Klaus Canfield.

She was very much of an outdoor person; she loved taking long drives and the coast. Evelyn's all time love was spending time with her children and grandchildren, spending Easter in Smithville, having tea parties with her granddaughter, playing cards with her sisters and she loved antiquing.
