They eventually settled in her hometown of Tucson Arizona and raised their family. Evelyn's devotion to her grandchildren was none like no other, her grandchildren were blessed to never have never been cared for by anyone other than herself. She would load up her Rv with her grandchildren ranging from high schoolers to the younger elementary kids every morning to drop them off and return in the afternoon pick them all up again.

Even when her grandchildren were at school, she would devote her time volunteering at Pio Decimo Children Center by helping in the classroom or making donations. She had an endless love to give like no other. Everyone was always welcome in their home, and Evelyn was always prepared to make food with whatever she had in the house. She enjoyed baking, and there were always fresh desserts made daily, she enjoyed it so much that she taught her children and grandchildren how to bake as well. Our family will always remember her selfless love and nurture as a mother and grandmother to all. In the end, she still just wanted reassurance that all her children and grandchildren were all going to be ok without her here. We now have a beautiful loving angel looking down on us. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

It was never Goodbye when it came to Evelyn it was always a simple "See you later, I love you." Until we meet again "See you later, we love you to."
