Maria Evans, 53, long time resident of Winnemucca, passed away at home on Thursday, July 14, 2011. She was born Aug. 25, 1957, in Broton, CT to Helen and Eric Anderson. Maria was one of four children.
She was proceeded in death by her father Eric Anderson and brother, David Anderson. She is survived by her husband of 35 years, Gary Evans, mother, Helen Anderson, daughter, Kristina Casalez (Pat), son, Shawn Evans (Ladonna), sisters, Patty Merrick and Chrisanne Quance. She is also survived by six grandchildren who were the light of her life, Hesston and Tracy Evans, Seth, Brayden, and Trevin Casalez and expecting Jordon Casalez in the weeks to come.
Maria was a long time employee of Dr. Hubbard and then Northern Nevada Eyecare and she loved working with the community.
Maria was a wonderful daughter, mother, wife and friend. Her grandchildren were the love of her life. She loved the outdoors, her animals, sewing and cooking, but, cleaning was her true passion. We all know heaven will be extra clean now. She’s probably already dusted the angels wings and has her lists posted everywhere. Maria was a very special person who never met an enemy, she always had kind words to say and she made time for everyone. Maria had a monumental change on many lives, she had a way of making a person see the good in others and teaching us how to be the kind of person that she was. You could see the lord in her by the way she lived her life.
Memorial services will be held at Pioneer Park on Saturday, July 23, 2011, at 5:00pm. We will be serving potluck style. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Winnemucca Hospice, PO Box 843, Winnemucca, NV 89446 or to retired and Senior Volunteer Program.
