July 15, 2022 at 11:15 amEv was my director in the early 90’s for the play “84 Charring Cross Road” at the Boise LIttle Theatre. I had never had any acting experience and she gave me a chance and confidence to try something new. A fine lady.

July 18, 2022 at 12:13 pmEv was a long-time and devoted friend of our family. She was always happy to get together for social occasions and participated fully. She came with a smile on her face, a fun story, and great food to share.
She was an amazing cook – I learned so much from her! She loved to entertain and was a great hostess. She set a beautiful table for her guests and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
She had a passion for gardening and created a peaceful, beautiful outdoor space for friends to gather. She loved to sit on the deck or in her sunroom to share wine and conversation with friends. I have many fond memories!
Ev was a devoted friend that I could count on to be there through good or bad times. I will miss her very much!!

July 18, 2022 at 5:51 pm“Ev” has been my best friend since I was 7. We have been best friends and lost friends because of our relationships for 60+ years. She has always been my best friend and we have been “estranged for a bit, but this is the last estrangement I would have ever wanted. I still love her and hope one of you will let me know what happened to my bestest friend.

July 25, 2022 at 2:45 pmOn a more personal note, I will always remember, and be grateful for, the kind attention she gave to my husband, Clancy. She frequently invited us to dinner and prepared food she knew he loved. She also went out of her way to make her home accessible to his wheelchair.
The one occasion I have the fondest memory of is the time she just brought the meal out to the van and we ate there and laughed a lot and had a great time.
Movie club, dinners out, and so many other things will not be the same without her.

July 28, 2022 at 2:40 pmI worked with Evelyn at the Americana Annex, Five Mile Station and the Garden City Post Office. Every afternoon, after she had completed her route she would stop into my office to chat. A friendship formed and continued after we both retired.
Ev was a true friend, always cheerful and always there.
She talked about her family often, I am so sorry that she has left you far too soon.
I will miss her so very much.
