A lover of music, Evette could always find a beat to groove too. When it came to fashion, Evette was always dressed to impress. She loved her jewelry and always loved to cook. Having her family at her house for a meal was so important to her. Evette's hard working ways were present in every aspect of her life from her immaculate home to her cleaning business that she ran for 20 years. Evette was a proud woman and it showed in everything she accomplished.

Everywhere Evette went she lit up a room with her smile and sense of humor. Her big heart and love for her family and friends will live on through everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. To know and love her was a blessing and to have her love in return was a gift.

We ask that you all not mourn her passing but celebrate her beautiful life. Everywhere Evette went there were laughs and smiles and we want everyone to continue to do this in the wake of her passing. In the words of her favorite song she is now "free to do what she wants to do".
