Albany ~
Evelyn Whelan, 13, transitioned into new life on April 2, 2019 with family by her side.
She is survived by her mother Shannon Whelan of Guilderland, her grandparents, Jim and Maggie Whelan and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She is predeceased by her brother Sean Robert.
Evy was a smart, spunky, loving and bossy young lady who enjoyed attending Mass at St Vincent's Church in Albany and listening to the choir. She attended Double HH Ranch each summer where her favorite activities were swimming and being around the campfire for the sing-a-long.
She was a student in Guilderland Elementary Schools. The family would especially like to thank Albany Medical Center's staff and St Margaret's Center for Children for the loving care they have given Evelyn. There are no words to express the gratitude for so many friends who have lended support during this difficult time.
Family and friends are invited to wear purple as it was Evelyn's favorite color.
Relatives and friends may call 4-7 p.m. Monday, April 8th at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie, where a memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. in the funeral home.
Contributions can be made in Evy's memory to the Double HH Ranch 97 Hidden Valley Rd, Lake Luzerne, NY 12846. or www.DoubleHRanch.org/donate.
