Ella was Aunt Ween to me. When I think of her I think of her with her sisters and how they loved one another and laughed with one another. Evelyn's laugh was like her mother Grace's laugh… kind, full of delight at making others laugh, and so contagious. She is remembered and missed. Her strength and grace in aging inspires us still. She had style and flare that never stopped.
I first met Mrs. McLeish in 2004 when I started working at the VA Clinic in Ft. Myers. It was always a pleasure to assist her with the often cumberson paperwork for the VA. She will be greatly missed. Rodney Van Ness, Florida Department of Veterans Affairs
From the first day I met Evelyn, about 12 years ago, I admired her cheerful personality and her fierce independence. Her daughter, Karin, took her out to eat each week which Evelyn enjoyed. Sometimes I would join them for dinner at one of Evelyn's favorite restaurants. She would often order steak or ribs, and french fries, but every meal for her included an an ice cream sundae or some other dessert. Evelyn was an inspiration to me. It was an honor and my pleasure to have known her.
Dance on Evelyn, you will be sorely missed by all who loved or knew you. Ann Bradley
