STATESVILLE- Evelyn "Evie" H. Marlowe, 92, went home to be with the Lord on November 14, 2016. The Lord has fulfilled his promises to her and now she has received her inheritance. She fought a good fight, finished her course and kept the faith.
Born April 24, 1924 in Iredell County, North Carolina, she was the daughter to the late Lee and Melinda Hoover. Evelyn was a caregiver to numerous children and elderly adults throughout her life time. She was a member of Hillside Baptist Church where she played the piano for more than 30 years. All together she played the piano for more than 60 years at various churches. She was a loving and caring mother and "Mamaw". Her grandchildren often argued over who was her "favorite" which to her they all were. She loved spending time with her family and in her garden with her flowers.
In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her husband, Rex Marlowe; brothers, Paul Hoover, Norman Hoover, and Roy Hoover and sisters, Ruth Bunton, Neverta Munday and Doris Little.
Left to cherish her memory is her children, Dean (Paulette) Marlowe, Wanda (David) Beatty and Cathy (Rex) Hudspeth; grandchildren, Deannie Marlowe, Chrissy (Ricky) Wolfe, Duane Marlowe, Bryan (Susan) Gilbert, Shannon (Amy) Swain, Heather Ferrell, Mellony (Josh) Price; 13 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.
A celebration of life service will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 1 pm at Hillside Baptist Church with Pastor Fred Shoemaker and Rev. Ricky Wolfe officiating. Burial will follow at Iredell Memorial Gardens.
The family will receive friends from 12-1pm at the church prior to the service.
Pallbearers will be Duane Marlow, Bryan Gilbert, Shannon Swain, Damian Swain, Josh Price, Deannie Marlowe, Willie Dalton, Seth Carter and Ian Leith.
The family would like to say a special thanks to the hospice nurses that cared for our mom while at Brookedale Broad Street.
