Evelyn Mobley was a kind soul with a heart large enough for a whole community. She opened her heart to provide joy to all around her as a mentor, friend and neighbor. No request was too large and to Evelyn, no one was a stranger. Her home was open to all and she always showed up to light any space with her brilliant smile. We will all miss her but know that her love and guiding hand is never far. We love you grandma, and we know that this is not goodbye, just see you later.
