Obituary
Evelyn Mae Kirk, (Evie) 81, of Kent, WA, passed away on May 2, 2012 at the home of her son, Mike. Evelyn was born on May 13, 1930 in Riverside, WA, the daughter of the late Thomas and Virginia Sinclair Moore. Evelyn lived in Washington most of her life but she spent a very short time in Rainier, Oregon, and Great Falls, MT. Her favorite place that she lived was on the Cowlitz River in Toledo, WA where she spent many years. Over the years, Evelyn worked for several property management companies and also worked for Planned Parenthood and Social Services in Washington. She loved her cat, Patches, and had her many years until she was no longer able to care for her. Evelyn also loved taking care of her yard and flowers along the river. Besides her parents, Evelyn is preceded in death by her only brother and two grandchildren. She is survived by two daughters, LeaAnne Greenwood of Unity, OR, and Robin Lee Pease of Yuma, AZ; a son, Mike Clevenger of Kent, WA, four grandsons, one nephew, a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter. Evelyn’s family will hold a memorial service at a later date. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family online at www.bonneywatson.com.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Death is one of the most difficult things we face in life but may it comfort you to know that others care. I have found great encouragement when reading the beautiful words penned in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May this promise bring your family comfort in this difficult time.
