Evelyn Haley was always known to be a virtuous woman. Her teaching on how to conduct her own life came from the bible. She was known as a positive person, always putting the needs of others before her own. She was honest and helpful to those who needed her influence. She was a friend to all not only in her thoughts, but also in her selfless deeds. Her calming peaceful ways were very apparent to others. Her life and actions were an example we can all emulate. Evelyn was well known for her fantastic cooking skills not to mention her hospitality! She never knew who her family was bringing home for Sunday dinner or how many, but she was always prepared.
