Samuels, Mary Fitzsimmons, Frank Tamandong, and Jo Ann Hyatt, as well as her dog, Stormy. Evelyn was born on July 24, 1932 in Albany, Louisiana. Having grown up in Louisiana, she always had a penchant for Cajun cooking and the Louisiana lifestyle. She championed many causes and was blind to color, social status, or physical circumstance. She offered cosmetology services to the elderly in nursing homes and tried to fight against elderly injustice. She was extremely proud of her philanthropy at Carville Hospital and made numerous friends and impacted many. For this, she was recognized by the Louisiana Department of Health, noting her “very distinguished contribution to the welfare and morale of Carville patients,” that left them “standing taller with a bigger smile on their face.” Evelyn, known as Granny in her later years, was a devoted Christian and a dedicated member of Woodlands Church. She spent most of her life being the hands and feet of the Lord. She took immense pride in every profession she had in life. She worked for the Better Business Bureau for 25 years, as well as Pipe Line Unique Services (the Texas family business) for 12 years, where she was an integral part of the success of the company. She always put her family first and made sure that they were cared for. She had an extraordinarily strong will and was fiercely independent and studious. She enjoyed the occasional margarita, watching the Astros and Rockets religiously, and eating freshly cut lemons from her tree with a dash of salt. She will be deeply missed by her family and all those she positively impacted over the course of her life. To summarize her life, as Frank Sinatra once said, “I did it my way.” Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the graveside service on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Carter Cemetery.
