Our mom, Karlyn Dewson, was so fond of Evelyn. They enjoyed many a laugh and meal with friends in beautiful Lewes, De. They stayed in touch over the years as my mom moved back to Wilmington, DE. My sister Kay and I recall her delicious homemade treats she would mail at Christmas time. I recall her enthusiasm for life and love for learning new things. May she rest in peace.
Karlyn, Kay & Beth Dewson
Dear Hamp and Paula, I am so sorry for your loss. You two were so precious to her and you made her life richer and more enjoyable for so many years. Bill and Evelyn were the most welcoming folks when i moved to Lewes in 1992. I treasure those memories and the joy of our mutual friendship with the Frankenfields. Sadly, Barbara Vaughan
I always loved visiting Grandma Eve during the holidays and in the summer time. We had lots of fun talking, eating, and spending time together while making many memorable memories that won't be forgotten. Even though she is not with us today, her spirit is still with us every day. Jakob Virizlay
Grandma Eve was an inspiration to our entire family and always spread love throughout the house when family and friends came to visit. She also made the most amazing food, especially her delicious cookies. Once we tried a cookie we just couldn't get enough and kept on coming back for more! Grandma Eve is a very special person and will always have a place in our hearts. Matej Virizlay
I met Evelyn over 20 years ago at Osher Lifelong Learning (formerly called "the Academy). Throughout the years we both attended poetry, Shakespeare and opera classes. She could always be counted on to sign-up and travel with us to trips to Opera Delaware in Wilmington, DE. Evelyn walked to school as part of her exercise program and in hot, sunny weather I would see Evelyn with her usual smile and her parsasl. I treasure the beautiful coat she knitted in a handwork class ... we made a deal when she decided the coat was too large for her small frame. I will miss Evelyn and have fond memories of this fine genteel lady .... and I have the coat to remember her by.
