Helen L. Evans

Helen L. Evans, 73, of Owensboro passed away on Sunday, December 20, 2020 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Born November 22, 1947 in Daviess County to the late Vernon and Pauline Rogers Page, Helen graduated from Owensboro High School (class of '65) with honors. She devoted her time to raising her family and then began working at G.E. and later M.P.D. from which she retired in 2008. Helen was a loving and giving person with a strong will. You never had to wonder what she thought. She was looked upon as the matriarch of the family and will be sorely missed. Helen enjoyed bowling, reading, and playing Scrabble. She loved Elvis and caring for her family. She also had many close friends and family with whom she enjoyed playing Bunco and Bingo.

In addition to her parents, Helen also was preceded in death by a son, David Ray Evans in 2009; brother, Johnny Page; sister, Barbara Ford.
