Evelyn, a loving wife and mother, died on Friday, October 5, 2018, with family by her side at age 87. Evelyn will be dearly remembered. May Evelyn rest peacefully with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Evelyn was born on January 31, 1931, to Eva and John Bardwell in Honolulu, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. She and her family have first-hand experiences of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Evelyn graduated from Roosevelt High School and soon thereafter married Don Pefferkorn, then serving his tour in Hawaii. Evelyn followed Don, during his assignments, residing abroad and on both US coasts, until they settled down in Opelousas to raise the family. Evelyn was well known and loved in Opelousas, having enjoyed a retail career with Abdallas and Bealls. She always had a smile on her face.

Evelyn loved and bragged on her children constantly, embraced her children's spouses and could not get enough of the grandchildren and great grandchildren. One of her great pleasures was preparing special meals and treats for the family. Mom had a strong faith, regularly attended mass and loved listening to Christian singers. In her last years, she enjoyed Christian spirituals, games, and crafts with her close friends.
