Valeria (Val) Jean Evans 84, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2020 in Lincoln, CA after a long fight with Dementia. She was born on January 11, 1936 in Chicago, Il to parents Russell and Lucy Kendrick. She married the love of her life, Darrel Evans in November of 1957.
Val is survived by her devoted husband of 63 years, Darrel; daughter Victoria and her husband Rick of Morgan Hill, CA; son Daniel and his wife Tracy of Lincoln, CA; her grandchildren Sasha, Anna, Dustin, Zachary, sister Angie of Pleasant Hill, CA and many close friends and family.
She loved to go out for coffee with Darrel, have passionate conversations with the other locals and then hand them a “Werther’s Candy” as she went out the door with a wave and a sarcastic grin. Even though Dementia may have robbed her of her memories towards the end, it did not take away her feisty spirit. Her spirit and heart will be greatly missed.
Due to the difficulty of Covid-19 restrictions and concerns, the family is planning to have a Celebration of Life at a time when it is safer to gather in person. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association (https://www.alz.org) or ASPCA (ASPCA) or your favorite charity in her name.
