Evelyn Jeanette Matz, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend passed quietly away on Monday morning, July 26, 2021, in the presence of her husband, daughter and nephew. She was predeceased by her father, Gaetano; mother, Eva; and brother, Thomas along with her other Mom and Dad, William and Pearl Matz - who loved and welcomed her into their family from the first meeting when Evelyn was just 17 years old... and next to whom Evelyn will rest in eternal peace. Evelyn leaves behind her husband, Adam; her eldest daughter, Gena Gacevic; son-in-law, Murat; grandson, Samir; and granddaughter, Amelia; as well as her youngest daughter, Jodi Feldman and son-in-law, Joshua. Evelyn also leaves behind three sisters, Janice, Katie, and Mary, for whom she worked and provided for from as early as the ninth grade; along with a sister-in-law, Bonnie. Evelyn, a compassionate, loving and kind soul only worried about the elderly, children and animals of the world. She lived by the golden rule to do unto others as you would have done unto you. There is no doubt that she - the fearless leader she always was - is leading the way for all of her cherished loved ones to follow. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Evelyn’s name to Saint Jude Children’s Hospital, her favorite most cherished cause.
