Maria Emma “Kika” Evans was born on May 19, 1934 in Lima, Peru and passed away on June 23, 2021 in Dallas, Texas. Kika grew up in Peru where she attended the Sacred Heart school for girls, eventually meeting the love of her life, Eldon Evans, while he was on a US Civil Air Patrol goodwill tour of South America. Kika and Eldon shared 52 happily married years before his passing in 2016. They enjoyed travelling the world together and spending time with their children and grandchildren. While becoming a US citizen in the early 1970’s, Kika was very proud of her native Peru, visiting her family there whenever possible, and driving around town with her “PERU” license plate. Kika is survived by her daughters Rose Marie Glazer (husband William) and Mary Ann Evans; her four grandchildren, Emily Evans, Carl Glazer, Samantha Glazer, Sydney Glazer; and many nephews and nieces whom she adored. In addition to her husband, Kika was preceded in death by their infant son, Eldon Evans, Jr., and her beloved siblings, Carlos Leopoldo and Marta Delores. Mass will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 7 at All Saints Catholic Church. Committal will be held at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Rowlett, immediately after the service.
