Evelyn "Lynn" Eve Duet

Evelyn, one of nine children, was born in Thibodaux, Louisiana in 1934 to Noah Bernard and Aimee Pearly Chiasson. In 1950 she married Sylvain, the love of her life. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend and her radiant and joyful spirit has been a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew and loved her. Her personal journey in life was defined by and reflected kindness, generosity, compassion, empathy, humor, and an unconditional love for her family. Her profound and unwavering faith and love for God was a daily source of inspiration. Even though we mourn our loss, may we remember she will continue to lovingly and gently guide us all the days of our lives.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Noah and Aimee Chiasson; brothers, Ray, CJ, Lois, Award, Charles and Jerry; sisters, Mary and Sugar and her precious great-grandson, Owen.
