BURNHAM - Evelyn M. Kunes, 95, formerly of Lakemont, went to be with her Lord Tuesday morning, at her daughter's home in
Burnham, where she resided.
Born Nov. 2, 1916, in Altoona, she was a daughter of the late Clyde N. and Anna (Cupp) Snyder.
On June 3, 1937, in Altoona, she married Fred D. Kunes, who preceded her in death on Aug. 3, 1989, after 52 years of
marriage.
She also was preceded in death by: three sisters, Mary Hedberg, Edith Collins and Helen Badger; and a son-in-law, Robert
Hambright, in 2003. Evelyn was the last surviving member of her generation.
Surviving are: two daughters, Marjorie A. Hambright, of Burnham, and Melody K. Sorge and husband, Lloyd, of Lakemont; and
two grandsons, Ashley K. and Aden R. Sorge.
Evelyn was a 1934 graduate of Altoona High School. She was a homemaker. She was a member of Lakemont United Methodist
Church for more than 50 years, where she played the organ and taught Sunday school. She was then a member of First United
Methodist Church, in Hollidaysburg, and most recently attended Holy Communion Lutheran Church, Yeagertown.
She was fondly known as "Grams" or "Granny." She loved her God, her daughters and her grandsons. She enjoyed her short-
wave radio, listening to hymns and sermons. Evelyn lived to fish, loved new adventures and travelling, especially to the shore,
and enjoyed going to the Mifflin County Airport. She enjoyed watching nature and loved her cat, Bootsie. She was a wealth of
knowledge on the olden days and often told many stories of her childhood, her family, and the early romance between her and
Fred at their family cottages, in Curtin. Evelyn was a stranger to no one, making many friends during her life's journey.
A celebration of life service will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, at Sorge Funeral Home, Hollidaysburg, with the Rev. Denny Derr
officiating. Friends will be received from 4 p.m. until the time of the service Thursday, at the funeral home.
Interment will be in Rose Hill Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Service Dogs for Veterans, c/o Sorge Funeral Home, 422 N Juniata St,
Hollidaysburg, PA 16648 or the Mifflin County Airport Authority, 547 Airport Road, Reedsville, PA 17084
