    I’m so sorry to read of Evelyn’s passing but i know she has joined the Ervins, Garrisons and Boyds in God’s Holy Kingdom.
    I’ll always remember Cousin Evelyn for her dedication to her mama, Aunt Carrie. She was so faithful taking her to events in and around Steele Creek. Evelyn was fun-loving and had a great sense of style.
    It is so wonderful she had such a full life and enjoyed herself in whatever setting she found herself in.
    I offer my deepest sympathy to Little Al and Todd.
    Peace be with you,
    Your cousin,
    Bonnie Boyd Maready

    Weird that I was just talking about Ms. Evelyn this past weekend - so sad to see this today. Growing up in Steele Creek, Ms. Evelyn was one of the “church ladies” that became, for me, an example of beauty inside and out, at a very young age. That early perception grew stronger as we all grew older - she never wavered in her quiet calmness, which hid a delightful sense of humor that I came to know as an adult. Always ready with a smile, a kind word, and a twinkle in her eye, I just want you to know that her kindness and caring nature had a broad impact in the community, and for me personally. My deepest condolences to you and all the extended family.

    I have so many fond memories of Annie. She was so kind to me growing up and welcomed me when I became part of her family at age 10. She always gave me candy as a kid and never forgot my birthday. I remember spending many Sundays with her going to church at Steele Creek with lunch afterwards at Grandma Ervin's. She did have a great laugh and I have no doubts she will spend eternity in heaven with our LORD. RIP Miss Annie.
