She will be remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend.
She was always a strong, diligent, hard worker all her life.
She was a tremendous cook, talented seamstress, the ultimate green thumb in gardening (everything she touched grew), and was an avid “New York Yankees” fan.
Evelyn was born in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad & Tobago and moved to New York City in 1974 when she lived for 31-years. She moved to Palm Bay, FL in 2005.
She was the sister of Dennis, Carmen, Sheila, Zita, Michael and Lenora. The mother of Michael, Keith (Diane), Frances (Stephen). She was preceded in death by her youngest child Larry (Annette). Her nine grandchildren are: Corrie, Candice, Kirk, Stephen, Martin, Anthony, Nathanael, Dishon and Karim and twelve great-grandchildren: Tony, JT, Nicholas, Tyler, Matthew, Felicity, Joshua, Aliyah, Jaylene, Dishon, Karim and Chelsea.
