Evans and Savannah (nee: Matthews) Evans, her husband, Ralph (Tony) Euwing; stepdaughter, Patricia Van Liew; siblings, brother, James Jr. (Les) Evans, brother, Vincent Evans Sr.; sisters, Lorraine Minor and Lorrelle Evans; special nephew and niece, Vincent Evans Jr. and Cecelia Ann James and special friend, Ida Mae Coles.
