Evelyn Velnet Hill, age 64 of Elwood, passed away on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis following a brief, unexpected illness. She was born September 2, 1954 in Elwood, the daughter of Donald J. and Nancy J. (Cotton) Hill. Evelyn graduated from Wendell L. Willkie High School in the class of 1972. She graduated from Ball State University with a degree in Psychology. Later, Evelyn graduated from I.U.P.U.I. with a degree in Accounting and Business. She retired in 2017 from the City of Elwood where she worked as a clerk in the Building and Planning Commission office for 12 years. She also formerly served as a clerk in the Clerk-Treasurer’s office, and a clerk for the Elwood Police Department in past years. Evelyn worked as a substitute teacher for Elwood Community Schools for many years where she enjoyed interacting with children.
Evelyn was a member of the Hobbs United Methodist Church until it closed, and later she and the congregation joined the Windfall United Methodist Church pastored by Rev. Dennis Lafferty. Evelyn regularly picked up children in her neighborhood to take them to church and take them out for lunch afterwards. She was a member of the Indy Ski Club with whom she enjoyed several memorable trips, and she loved to volunteer at the Morrisett Center Food Pantry on Monday evenings. Evelyn was passionate about the environment, and regularly passed out trees on Arbor Day along with the local Boy Scouts. She especially loved to travel and go to the theater with her cousins and friends. She was the person in her family who knew all the family genealogy. More than anything, Evelyn always had a smile on her face and was friendly to everyone she met.
Evelyn’s family includes 2 aunts, Joyce (husband Earl) Ruby of Carmichael, CA and Marilyn (husband Dallas) Etchison of Hampden, ME; numerous loving cousins and friends. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Stephen E. Hill in 2011.
A celebration of life memorial service will be conducted at a later date, and burial will take place privately by the family.
