I worked with Evelyn at Josephs. She was a delight to work with. She did love her children and her grandkids. She will be missed by those who knew her. Praying for GOD's comfort and strength during this sad and difficult time.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. In moments like these, we tend to rely on ourselves and we forget the power that prayer can have, it can give us the strength that we need and when we need it. This is a promise from God that we can find in his word the Bible. (Philippians 4: 6,7)

Loved working with Evelyn! She was one of my favorite in the shipping department. You could always count on her to make sure all was done to the best of her ability. I will keep Her in my prayers. She will be missed here at Josephs! Great team-player!
