Evelyn Stevenson, age 89, of Peachtree City, GA, left this world peacefully on Saturday, January 11, 2025.

Evelyn was born in Madison, WI, and grew up in Tucson around the University of Arizona campus where her father taught. Evelyn and Kenny married in their early 20’s and owned a successful auto parts business for more than 35 years. They enjoyed traveling, especially across the US, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Evelyn spent decades as an active member of Assistance League and Garden Club. She loved to be in nature and spent many hours gardening and teaching her grandchildren about desert plants and wildlife. She was a consummate host, whether it was a big party or an intimate dinner. And she loved to play bridge with lifelong friends that started playing in their 20’s. But her true passion was for her children. As a family they enjoyed many trips, picnics at Mt. Lemon or Sabino Canyon, and their weekly dinners at Casa Molina.

She is survived by her daughter: Vicki (Steve) Troyer, and her son Jeff (Terri) Stevenson; four grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband of over 50 years: Kenneth; her twin sister: Eleanor; and her brother: Richard.

The family will hold a private service in early April at Christ Church United Methodist, with a celebration of life following the private service.
