Mary Frances Evans

Mary Evans was born to the late Nathan and Melvina Evans on February 03, 1949, in Carrollton, Michigan. She departed this earthly life peacefully at her home on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. She received Christ early at Mt Zion Baptist Church in Steubenville, Ohio. Mary attended public school in Steubenville, Ohio, and Saginaw, MI. Mary served in the military shortly after public school. Through the years it became her legacy to have some fun with the people she encountered; Mary had a great sense of humor.

Mary became a member of Old Town Community Outreach Center in February 2018 where she served as a Lay Minister. A loyal servant of GOD, Mary was dedicated to loving and feeding her friends and building the community wherever she went. Now that Mary has passed into the arms of our Lord, her physical life on earth is over but it is the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her.

Mary leaves to cherish her memories four sisters, Mattie (Melvin) Patterson of Steubenville, Ohio, Pastor Florene Queen Frierson, Little Rock, Arkansas, Ann Thompson Detroit, Michigan, Bertha Smith St Louis, Missouri; one uncle, Rev. Charlie Rome (Pattie) Boose, Fayetteville, North Carolina; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends will miss her dearly.
