Sincere sympathy for Evelyn’s extended family. Evelyn was a great Teacher to our children, many years ago, at St Joseph’s, RedCliffs. A great friend to me, with her Patchwork skills & a beautiful lady to chat too.

Very fond memories of Evelyn at all Smith O’Donnell gatherings over the years – from weddings to christenings to significant birthdays and then more christenings. We admired Evelyn for her resilience, good humour in face of grief and adversity. Loved the way she would come to Melbourne and organise grandchildren to gather for a lunch or dinner with her. The end of an era for your family but so many good memories. Deepest to sympathy to you all
Our deepest sympathy to you all.
