Obituary

Evelyn Jane (Hoffmaster) Evans, of York, left this earthly life behind when she heard her Lord and Savior call her name to go to her eternal home to be with her husband, John R. Evans, Sr. who entered into rest on June 8, 2005. She passed at 2:26 am from Magnolias of Lancaster on Friday, February 5, 2021 at the age of 95, with her daughter, Cindy, sitting by her side and her many other family members joining via Facebook messenger. Evelyn was born in Lancaster on December 22, 1925 and was the daughter of the late Gabriel and Mazie (Metzler) Hoffmaster. After high school, she attended the Thompson Business School, earning a certificate of completion. She worked at Stauffer Biscuit in York and was the secretary for the former Roland Warner Insurance Agency in Red Lion and was also a clerk at the former Strayer's Store in Winterstown. Along with working outside of the home, Evelyn had seven children that she raised and assisted taking care of others as they needed it. She loved to crochet, and hand made a granny square afghan for each family member throughout her years. Evelyn enjoyed having fun and going to the Hollywood Casino was always a great time. While living with her daughter, she would help with folding care products for T & K Naturals, her daughter's business. But nothing could possibly replace the joy that she had when she was spending time with her family. Evelyn was fondly known as "Gigi" by her family. She and John had seven children, Joanne L.
