Evelyn Walker 2/27/1926 - 3/1/2008



Our Aunt Evie passed away on March 1, 2008 in Morgan Hill, California. She will be greatly missed. Evie (Evelyn) was the daughter of Cecil and Annie Walker (Rick's maternal grandparents). Rick and his siblings all visited Eve the week prior to her passing and then were all present at her funeral. Cyndy and Don Roen cared for Eve for the better part of the last 30 years and deserve great thanks from the greater Walker/Haskell family - they were her closest friends and most caring companions.
If you will 'click' on the collage to the right, you can view many pictures of Evie throughout her life with many of her loved ones.

Rick and Leslie (inspired by the work of Rod and Teresa Royce) built Eve's casket and transported it to California. It was a tremendous experience and helped focus our thoughts on Eve's life and our many memories of her. Evie was more than my aunt - she was more of a second mother to me and cared for me when my own mother couldn't. We will love her forever.

Eve was laid to rest in the Walker Family Plot on March 8, 2008 at the Los Gatos Memorial Park.
