Born in Chicago, Illinois on July 14, 1918, she was the daughter of Charles and Therisia Zanovit. She was employed as a pharmacist assistant at a pharmacy in the small town of Twin Lakes, Wisconsin for about 10 years. Shortly after leaving her job there, she moved down to Florida to retire.
A devote Catholic, she was a longtime parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Palm Bay, Florida. She was a member of the St. Joseph Ladies Auxiliary Knights of Columbus and a lifetime member of the Palm Bay Greater Senior Center. She enjoyed golfing, cooking, playing cards, and crocheting Afghans. An extrovert, she enjoyed the company of friends and family. She was often the “star” of the party, very outgoing and talkative. Her sweet, friendly personality is going to be greatly missed.
Evelyn is survived by her son, Richard Wendt (Rita G.); her grandchildren: Ray Wendt, Rickie Wendt, and Rodney Wendt; and five great grandchildren.
