Mary Louise Evans was born on January 6, 1938 in Laurel, MS to parents Rosa Foye and Doc Evans. Mary was an only child and grew up with her favorite cousin BabyRuth Weathersby and childhood friend Sylvia Mccullum. She attended Laurel High School.

Mary made her transition into eternal life on June 25, 2020 at Ridgewood Care Center in Racine, Wisconsin.

Eleven Grandchildren Chanel Terry, Michelle Mack, Krystal Evans, Yolanda Ward, Brandon Evans, Deonyata Evans, Andre Evans, Steven Bunch, Cory Bunch, Khali Bunch, Larry Porter and several Great-Grandchildren.

Michael,

First, let me start out by saying you were a God sent working with me for many years in preparations for my mom’s Homegoing Celebration December 7, 2024.  Even though this was our first time meeting in person, I felt like I already knew you.  Michael, you demonstrated  professionalism, empathy and, your warmth was surprising for me considering your role as a Funeral Director. Your attention to every detail, patient and support has made this process much easier for my family and me. I trusted you and you helped me find closure in a moment of great sadness, and for that we’re eternally grateful. I appreciate the time and energy you put into ensuring everything ran smoothly considering I reside in a different state.  Michael, my mom would have loved you and our family is forever grateful for your unwavering dedication and support during our season of grief.  May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. (Numbers 6:25)

Valerie Tucker and the Family of Barbara Bell
