She and her husband lived in many parts of the world until returning to settle in Brown County. While raising two children she became interested in politics and accepted a job with the Brown County Treasurer and was later voted for and served two terms as Treasurer from 1981 through 1989. She also enjoyed cooking and baking and along with her husband opened a café in Nashville serving homemade soups, sandwiches and desserts. A woman of devout faith she was a dedicated member of St. Agnes Church. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends who will all remember her for her spunkiness.

Evon is survived by her daughter; Brigitte Evon Andrews (David Broome) of Columbus and her son John “Richard” Weaver of Bloomington, grandchildren; Morgan Andrews, Malachi Weaver and MacKenzie Broome, great-grandchildren; Wyatt Taylor and Kayleigh Spears. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, four sisters and two brothers.

The family will receive visitors from 10:00 a.m. until time of mass. All are welcome to come and celebrate her life.

The family would like to express a special thank you to The Monroe Place Staff for the loving care Evon received during her stay there.

The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to St. Agnes Church in Evon’s memory.
