Dorothy V. Evans 93 passed into the arms of God on Monday, July 2, 2018. She was proceeded in death by her husband Richard (Dick) Lewis Evans, her first born son Robert Lewis Evans and her youngest son David Wayne Evans. She is survived by Donald Joseph Evans, Karen Marie Sauls, Charles Edward Evans and Cheryl Ann Jones. She had seven grand-children and eight great grand-children. Having lived a long and fruitful Christian life beside her husband in ministry. Church life was the center of most family activities from the nursery to Sunday School a godly influence on so many young lives, beyond her own children. Dorothy was required to grow up quickly at the death of her mother at the age of twelve. She was left to raise her younger brother Ed, and keep the house for her father. She met her future husband as a youth at Brightmore Tabernacle Assembly of God in Detroit Michigan. Married and mothered two children before twenty years old. Her husband was overseas as an airborne soldier in World War II. She met the challenge before her and the one yet to come. Her husband returned home wounded with paralysis from the waist down. Drawing from the strength of The Lord from within her, faith was rewarded when her husband received a Divine touch through prayer and was completely healed.

Many faith adventures followed mom and the Evans family over the fifty plus years before dads passing. We called it life, only on hindsight does one see the adventure in it all. Many moves, homes, schools and

churches. Growing lives and touching people and becoming who we are. Praying it will all please The Lord.

The strong and sometimes willful one that Dorothy became was not always a choice but a necessity of life. Forged by the circumstances of life overcome by the Grace of God she lived by faith one day, one adventure/circumstance at a time. We are grateful for the years we had to love and live as a Christian family

together. Dorothy was a faithful member of Gateway Christian Center Assembly Of God.
