Evelyn is survived by her husband, James D.

She was preceded in death by her parents, the former Aline Davison and Thomas Gauthier.

Evelyn's first priority in life was her family. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and cooking Sunday dinners for her family. Reading and fishing were her other passions. Throughout her many illnesses, Evelyn remained loving and caring to those who surrounded her. She was the embodiment of selflessness and understanding.

Pallbearers will be Bernard Wiltz, III, Ryan Wiltz, Jesse LeBlanc, Kyle Pinkley, Clay Vincent, and Joey LeBlanc. Honorary pallbearers are her three grandsons, Ethan Wiltz, Thomas Wiltz and Riley Baumgardner, and two nephews, Charles Colley and Aaron Martin.

The family requests that visitation be held on Wednesday, February 6, from 1:00-8:00 p.m., and resume Thursday morning at 8:00 a.m. until time of service. A rosary will be led by Deacon Miller Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m.
