I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Psalm 121:1
Yvonne Delores Evans was born on March 27, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida to Rufus Graham and Victoria Graham. She received her education and was a proud graduate of Matthew Gilbert. She was employed by Duval County Public School Board, driving buses for 27 years.
Later in life she met the loved of her life, Oscar Evans, Jr. and was united in Holy Matrimony in 1968 until his untimely death on August 7, 2003. She accepted Christ at an early age and was faithful member of United Baptist Church since 1978 under the leadership of Reverend Willie Smith. She was a leader singer in Choir #1 and shared Christ’s love towards others until her timely death.
