Evelyn was born in Albert Mines on September 16, 1925 the

in the church choir and also with the Silver Chords Choir.
Evelyn was very active and loved having fun. She was a
member of the Hillsborough Mixed Bowling League for
years. Evelyn loved drives through Albert County and going
to the camp. She was very fortunate to be able to get around
in her senior years and still have her mobility. She passed
her love of music down to her children and was happiest listening to
her children and their friends play guitar and sing. She was
a great mother and grandmother who has left a legacy of not only love
but determination. She will live on in the hearts of her
family forever.
She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Joanne
« Joey » Price (Tom) and son, Danny Jonah (Nancy) both
