Evelyn Rose Schwartz was born April 10, 1916 she lived to be 94, passing away at around 12:30 Am at the Chardon Nursing home in Ohio, on Sunday the 27th of February, 2011.
When I (Betty) met Evelyn she was an active 88 year old woman living in a home she was very proud of; being cared after by her caregiver Dean. Evelyn's driving days were finally over - she had two dogs that she treasured and she was happy and content.
What I loved about her was she was a lady to be much admired. She had accomplished a lot in her life and had a lot of self worth about her. A really wonderful lady. One of her best friends was Dottie Buzeck who had moved Tennessee quite a few years ago. When Dean and I cared for Evelyn going into Manor Care nursing home, we met another woman (who worked there) who would become a very dear friend of Evelyn as well, Linda. So even in her last years, she still was surrounded by loving friends. Altho many have passed on as each year older; she saw more deaths. She has a lifetime of friends surrounding her - as you can see by some of us being here paying our last respects to her passing today. Evelyn understood life is about change, and one needs to accept there is a heaven, and loved ones are now in a better place. We know she is up there in heaven with all her family and friends who are privileged to be there too. Her family and friends can be proud of her.
Sadly several who love her, hadn't been able to see her for numerous months of late. However, we can say, she died knowing she was surrounded by love - as Dean, Linda and myself, Betty, were with her at the nursing home- visiting her- the night before she died.

ReplyDeleteIt makes me sick what they did to her.
