End of an Era -- Goodbye Evie

Time waits for no man...or woman...nor is it very forgiving while it's not waiting.  Evie had 95 good years, and then the last one.  Her passing, the day after Thanksgiving, was a blessing for her and her beleaguered family.  She had gotten to the point that no one could ease her suffering, even though we all tried.  Now she and Harry are together again (hey, Fuzz, we held on to her as long we could...you owe us).

Here is the formal obit:

Evelyn Fornwalt Copple, age 96, died in her sleep on November 25, 2011, under the care of Good Shepherd Hospice of Lakeland.  She was born and raised in Pennsylvania and moved to Lakeland in 1986 to be near her family. She is survived by her daughters, Jane Coyle of Lakeland and Jean Ross of Miami; seven grandchildren, Tim (Laura), Mike (Maranda), Pam (David), Michael (Lisa), Stephen, Brian and David (Sakhile); and 11⅓ great-grandchildren.  No service is scheduled, but donations can be made to Good Shepherd Hospice or Hope Hospice.
