  • Aunt Evie was loved by many here in Mo & IA. She returned annually to join family & friends at the Putnam Co Fair and participated in several All School Reunions She was well known for her pie baking skills. She entered a pie every year she returned and took home many a ribbon. She shared her easy recipe for pie crust with us over 20 years ago. Another favorite memory was sharing lots of family stories over the years. She was so proud of her entire family and shared photos as the family grew. We talked several times a year and teased each other over who was making the popcorn as we watched rodeos or a movie. And sometimes there might be a family favorite meal being prepared either in her kitchen or mine and it was always stated just stop by dinner is on the table. We will miss her wonderful sense of humor and remember her infectious laugh as our birthdays and the holidays roll around. Our thoughts & prayers are with our family across the miles. She lived life to the fullest enjoying every moment and shared her zest for life with all those she encountered.
