Beth Louise Evans, age 94, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and formerly of Early, Iowa passed from Alzheimer's disease on April 24, 2013 at Meth-Wick Woodlands in Cedar Rapids.
Beth is survived by her sons, Jack (Nancy) of Cedar Rapids and Craig (De Anne Parks) of Rosemount, MN; grandchildren, Matthew, Will, Peter, Seth, and Maria Evans; and great-grandchildren, Andrew, Samuel, and Jacob Evans.
Born on August 20, 1918, in Anamosa, Beth was the daughter of Will and Stella Slife Weaver. Her only sibling, a brother Barton, died during World War II as a prisoner of war in Germany. She was raised in Hawarden, Iowa, and graduated from Hawarden High School in 1936. She received a two year degree with a teaching certificate from Iowa State Teachers College (now University of Northern Iowa) in 1939. Her first job was in Correctionville, Iowa, teaching third graders and earning $85 per month on a nine month contract. Another Correctionville teacher, Shirley Evans, introduced Beth to her brother Lt. Robert Evans, and they were married on June 23, 1943.
Beth and Robert were married for 55 years and lived in Early, Iowa. She was very active in the community, especially the Early Methodist Church, serving as church organist for over 50 years. She provided accompaniment countless times to students and other performers at community and regional events. Beth and Robert enjoyed retirement and spent winters in Arizona.
Robert passed away in 1998, and Beth became a resident of the Meth-Wick community in 2003. Beth loved to spend time with family and friends. She especially enjoyed cooking and entertaining. Her love of music was shared with many. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Early Methodist Church Endowment Fund.
Her family wishes to thank the dedicated and caring staff at the Meth-Wick Community.
