âYou can pick my mother out of the crowd just because of her laugh,â he said. âIt was that contagious and that unique.â
Evans died Friday, Dec. 18 after a nearly two-year battle with cancer. She was 60.
Those who knew her describe Evans as a gifted actor and director who could have worked Broadway, but returned to the region she called home to take care of ailing parents and raise her son. Evans offered her talents to high school and community theater productions, directing shows at Geneva and Lyons high schools. She was an integral part of the Geneva Theatre Guild as an actress, director, producer and governing board member.
