Evelyn F. Slaght, nee Jones, wife of the late Gerald Przybyla, passed away on April 29, 2024 at age 84. Born in Pittsburgh PA, she moved to Baltimore immediately after graduating from Antioch College and began her lifelong career advocating for and developing programs for at-risk youth. After spending years as a social worker, she received her Ph.D. and went on to teach Sociology at George Mason University. Even in retirement, her drive to help others and her strong spiritual faith led her to serve as a GED tutor and youth group helper. She remained in the Baltimore/DC area until 2017 when she moved to Illinois to be closer to her family.
She is survived by her daughter Jeneane Zeimen, previously of Catonsville, and her husband Dale, grandchildren Zachary and Jessica Zeimen, sister Ruth Wherthey (and husband Larry) and those whose lives she touched.
