Diaz Rivera), 3 stepsons Kalif Gates (Leslie), Jared Gates and Samuel Gates (Toni), and 2 step-grandchildren Kurt and Bonnie Gates.
God called home one of his workers when he called Evelyn. Evelyn was a retired teacher who continued to teach students online. She was active in her church choir both with her beautiful voice and her guitar. She was an avid traveler both for performing mission work, and for personal pleasure. She loved to see the holy land in person, and she loved to see God's different lands and people.
Evelyn loved learning, traveling, cooking, making music, and spending time with family and friends. She loved God, and all of God's children. She had an enthusiasm and love for life that few could match, and she had a unique way of making everyone around her feel special.
Evelyn Gates will be sorely missed..[more]
