Evonne was a beautiful soul and a very dear friend for many years. She touched everyone she met in a beautiful way and she will be missed by many, many people. God has called her home and she is now in the very best of care. With my deepest condolences to all the family.
Evonne was a force of nature wherever she went. Through grade school and highschool we played volleyball and softball (at the St. Louis parks and at the Siegle School playground).
We managed to keep in touch over the years and eventually started meeting at restaurants and later on our homes. We spent many hours reliving old and new times together. We each shared stories about our families and she always shared stories about her family .
Evonne was loved by all our “Siegle Sisters.” We will miss her.
I send my deepest sympathy to her family who we have heard many stories about (but never met) over the the years.
Evonne and I have been kindred spirits and soul sisters since the second grade. Many don’t know that Evonne was born with a heart defect. That may have worked to her advantage. I can just picture God saying, “Well, the world may think her heart is defective, but my Spirit will make it extra special.” And that’s what God did! He filled her heart with love—lots of love—love for Him and love for those around her. She had faith that could move mountains. She gave thanks for everything. There were times when she didn’t have a lot but always willing to share. She nurtured the heartbroken. She nursed and cared for those who needed a comforting hand. Of course, people with this kind of love are not without faults, but love can eclipse shortcomings. She’s the only person I know who could speak her mind without alienating everyone she met. Instead, they wanted to be her friend because just being her friend encouraged you to see the positive in life, not the negative. I was privileged to know Evonne well! I’ve never known a more genuine person. Her life was one of loyalty, laughter, and lots of love. There are tears in my eyes as I write this because her passing has left a huge hole in my heart, but I’m going to ask God to fill it with His love. I think Evonne would like that!
Sending heart-felt love and prayers to Evonne’s family and all who knew her. May God grant you His peace and comfort during this great time of loss. Barbara Dahlgren
Sandee & family,
So very sorry to hear of your loss.
Evonne was a beautiful soul. Beautiful, kind, generous, smart, accepting to everyone she met & of course happy. She will definitely be missed by family & friends. The Lord
be with you and the family . You all will be in my prayers.
I was very close with her granddaughter, as we lived in the same neighbourhood and would play together frequently when we were young. She always treated me like I was another granddaughter, and even let me call her grandma. I always felt so welcomed and loved by her and in her home, and she’d include me in everything, even if it was just out running to the store, she’d make it fun and feel like an adventure. I’m so sad to hear of her passing, but a person as kind as she was will never be forgotten and she will be loved always.
So sorry for your loss! She was such a great lady!
