Steve,
Our prayers are with you during this time. Your mom was a sweet lady that I’ll always remember. Get in touch sometime.
Evelyn was a beautiful, kind, loving lady. My late husband & I met her at Iannucci’s & he used to give her eggs from our chickens. I was sad to hear of her passing but we will meet again someday.
We had so much fun waiting table together at Iannucci’s we became the best of friends. We shared alot of things. I will never forget the times we had together
Mrs Campbell was a wonderful lady with such a great love of the lord and family. She was truly someone that led instead of followed. My memories of her will be always be close to my heart. God certainly will be welcoming a new angel to the choir. Have faith in knowing that she will be waiting for the rest of her family at heavens gate. God Bless you all.
I have very fond memories of Evelyn bringing lunch snacks and other goodies (including Georgia Hash) to the construction trailer during the Schwitzer building phase. During lunch time, Buck, Judy and I would often challenge her to a game of ‘Basra’, which she would always win.
She was quite the lady, and was a joy to be around.
Our thoughts and prayers are for Buck and his family in this time of sorrow.
Steve,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom! You are in my prayers through this difficult time.

Buck and Steve,
We are very saddened by Ms. Evelyn’s passing, our hearts go out to you. Ms. Evelyn was a wonderful person. Everyone that knew her, loved her. Our lives are much richer by having known such a great person. She had a tremendous zest for living, laughing and for sharing. When I think of a true lady, she will forever, come to mind. We will never forget how much she loved our boys, Kyle and Kam. They always knew where to go for the ‘hide the chocolate/candy from mom game’. That was always their little secret and a wonderful memory to have. We will miss her and cherish every memory we have of her. If, at any time, either of you, need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you~
Dear Buck & Steve, We are deeply saddened by Evelyn’s passing. We know she is smiling down on all of us now and we will miss her beautiful smile and her loving spirit. She was the best!
