Pavese, Evelyn (nee Swisher), age 90, formerly of Emerson, NJ, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Sunday, April 14, 2024. Born on Meathouse Fork Road in Avon, WV to the late Orbie and Nora Pauline (Morgan) Swisher.
Evelyn was a beloved and devoted wife to Robert A. Pavese Sr. for over 50 years. A loving mother of Robert A. Jr., (Rosaly), Paula (Bob), Patti (Guy), Evelyn (Rob), Conchetta (Randy) and Patti Gorgone. Dear sister of Margene (Buddy), Basil (Jeannine), Helen, and Wendell.

Evelyn was a beloved grandmother to Michelle (Brent), Christina (Keith), Robert (Rebecca), Brian (Vickie), Bill (Toni), Jamie (Michelle), Jackie, Christopher, Amanda, and Anthony. She was additionally blessed with 11 great-grandchildren.
Evelyn was the definition of a selfless person and gave every ounce of herself to her family and loved ones. For fun she enjoyed her scratch off lottery tickets, playing left-right-center with her family and her 4:00 pm scotch and potato chips. Most of all, Evelyn simply enjoyed being with her kids.
Friends and family are invited for visitation on Wednesday, April 17th from 3pm-8pm at Becker Funeral Home, Westwood, NJ. The Funeral Mass celebrating Evelyn's life and faith will be held on Thursday, April 18 at 10AM at Our Lady of Victories R.C.
