With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the community of Coldbrook mourns the sudden passing of Evelyn Parker, who left this world on June 20th, 2025.
Evelyn was known by all who met her as a woman of deep warmth, unshakable kindness, and a smile that could light up even the darkest days.
Her departure has left a void in the lives of many, from close family members to friends, neighbors, and all those whose lives she touched through her quiet compassion and unwavering spirit.
Evelyn lived a life rooted in empathy. Whether she was offering a listening ear, sharing a home-cooked meal, or simply greeting someone with heartfelt warmth, Evelyn had a way of making people feel valued and seen.
Her life was not marked by accolades or grand gestures, but by the daily acts of kindness that quietly made the world around her better.
In every conversation, she radiated patience; in every moment of need, she was the first to offer help without hesitation.
Her loss has been especially difficult for her loved ones, particularly Shannon, her next of kin, who is now navigating the overwhelming emotional toll of grief alongside the unexpected and mounting costs of final arrangements.
Evelyn's passing came without warning, leaving little time for financial preparation.
Shannon has taken on the difficult responsibility of organizing her memorial and burial, while also grappling with the sorrow that comes with saying goodbye to someone so cherished.
To help ease this burden, a community support fund has been established to assist Shannon in covering funeral and memorial expenses.
The fund serves as a space for those who knew Evelyn or were simply touched by her story to contribute what they can, offering not only financial relief but a gesture of solidarity and love in the face of loss.
In a world often filled with uncertainty, community is what holds us together and this moment offers an opportunity to be that support for Shannon and the memory of Evelyn.
Though her time with us was cut tragically short, Evelyn’s legacy lives on in the countless lives she affected.
Her laughter still echoes in the rooms she once filled, her spirit lingers in the kindness she gave so freely, and her memory will continue to inspire those who loved her.
As the days unfold, the community is encouraged to share stories, offer condolences, and come together to honor Evelyn’s life in the way she would have appreciated most: through generosity, connection, and care.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date, where family and friends will gather to celebrate Evelyn’s life, reflect on her impact, and say a heartfelt goodbye.
Until then, let us remember her not with sadness alone, but with gratitude for the light she brought and the love she so graciously gave.
Rest peacefully, Evelyn. You will never be forgotten.
