Evelyn was born November 21, 1923, to Isom Lee and Claudia Rodgers Triplett. She was of the Baptist faith and she was a homemaker. She enjoyed cooking, crocheting, and was an avid quilter. Her deep love for her family was evident every Sunday at lunch when everyone came to eat.
Evelyn is survived by two daughters, Clara Fulton of Carthage; and Virginia Charlton and husband, Hunter; her son, Paul Eaves and wife, Shirley; daughter-in-law, Mary Eaves, all of Louisville; and her sister, Ruby Schoal of Huntsville, Alabama. One of her greatest joys was being “Granny” to her nine grandchildren: Mike Fulton (Shirley); Tammy Stewart (Ruston); Mylissa Dees (Scott); Jason Eaves (Dallas); Leigh Ann Ross (Jason); Gidget Mills (Danny); Patrick Charlton (Heather); Katherine Ming (Dewayne); and Chris Eaves (Michelle). She also loved being “Big Nana” to 17 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, J. T. Eaves; two sons, Thomas Eaves and David Eaves; her parents; brothers, A. T. Triplett, W. T. Triplett, and Vernon Triplett; and sisters, Patsy Flake, Rosie Triplett; Katie Sloan; Mary Sanders; and Ruth Morgan.
