Evelyn F. Bolin

Evelyn F. Bolin went up to heaven in the arms of the angels to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 8, 2014. She was 69 years old. She is now free of all pain.

Evelyn was born in Burnside, Kentucky on March 3, 1945 to the late Goldie Christine Abbott and raised by her stepfather Claud Abbott. She was a member of Cedar Grove Baptist Church and later when she moved to Dothan Mount Gilead Baptist Church.

She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law Ruby Joyce Butler and Leon C. Butler; numerous nieces and nephews; and a "special granddaughter" Haley Rose Erp.

She was preceded in death by her sisters Bessie, Cora Jane, Francis, Mary and Martha, and brothers Junior and Paul.

Evelyn was born "special" and loved people. She saw beauty from within. She lived a hard life at times due to being "special" but she loved the Lord and always forgave. She loved her family and was blessed with the love returned.
