Evelyn L. Myers

ADRIAN- Evelyn Louise Myers, age 83 of Adrian, died on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, at Tecumseh Place II with her loving family by her side. Born on May 1, 1937 to Keith and Lucille (Rutsong) Schilling, Evelyn was number seven in a family of eight children. She graduated from Hudson High School. On August 10, 1958, Evelyn married her sweetheart, Harold Myers at the Congregational Church in Hudson; and they celebrated 61 years together before his passing on October 14, 2019. Evelyn worked at Key Bank and Kroger earlier in life but her favorite job was being a stay at home mom. There was no question that family was Evelyn’s number one priority as she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She orchestrated family Thanksgiving celebrations that were like a mini reunion and managed to keep everyone aware of what dish they were responsible to bring. Evelyn had a natural green thumb and was featured in the Garden Club for her beautiful garden and flowers. She was a member of West Adrian Community Church and the YMCA for over thirty years. Her kindness and giving personality was shown to everyone whether you were a friend or a stranger becoming a friend. She is survived by her children, Pamela Myers (Mark Lahti) and Jim (Teresa) Myers; 5 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren; and her brother, Harry Schilling. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, and husband, Harold; and two brothers and five sisters. Funeral services for Evelyn will be on Saturday, October 3, 2020, at 11 a.m. at West Adrian Community Church with Rev. Geoffrey Koglin officiating. Burial will follow at Lenawee Hills Memorial Park in Adrian. Visitation will take place on Friday, October 2, 2020, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Wagley Funeral Home, Adrian.
