She was the oldest child, a second mom to so many. She met the love of her life, the late Carvel Wayne Ledbetter, and they were married on May 29, 1965. Together they spent 49 years, making wonderful memories with their family. Her children and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Her role in the family was the most important thing to her. Being with her family was what Evelyn enjoyed most of all. If you spent time with her, when you were leaving, she would always say “what’s your hurry” and “ya’ll come back”.
