October 14, 1933 – February 23, 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Margaret Evans, who left us on February 23, 2025, after a beautiful life lived. Full of love, laughter, and resilience, she touched the lives of all who knew her.
Margaret was born to Clarence and Margaret Olson of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, on October 14, 1933. As one of eight children, Margaret learned early in life the valuable skill of nurturing and caring for others. At the age of 12, her family moved to Black River Falls, Wisconsin. It was here that she met the love of her life, Neil Evans, when he was stationed nearby while serving in the Army. They were married June 3, 1956, and moved west to Fort Jones, California, where they spent the next 6 years. In September 1962, they bought a house in Yreka, California, where they spent the rest of their lives.
