Zoe Louise McCann Evans

Mrs. Evans is remembered as a kind and loving woman, who was fiercely independent, loved music, movies, the theater, and was very artistic. One of her greatest pleasures was attending the rodeo each year and seeing the horses and cowboys. She grew up with horses and loved them all her life. Most of all Mrs. Evans was a loving mother and grandmother. She was blessed to have lived a full life and the legacy of her devotion to her family will always be evident through their faith and accomplishments.
