Sending thoughts and prayers to your family. I have nothing but great memories working with Evelyn at Eddys for several years. She was always fun and made work enjoyable

My thoughts are with Evelyn's family. I met Evelyn working with her at Eddy's when I was just 16 and we managed to bump into each other for many years after that. I adored her attitude and spirit and know she has a beer in one hand and is pushing a slot machine with the other.
