Evelyn Pitney Schumacher, age 68, of Jacksonville, Florida, went to her eternal home on November 14, 2020 after a courageous 30 month fight with glioblastoma. Evelyn was born on March 18, 1952 in Jacksonville, Florida to Charles and Laura Pitney. She graduated from Ribault High School in 1970 and went on later to graduate with her Master’s Degree in Nutrition from the University of Florida in 1996. She would go on to retire in 2019 from St. Vincent’s Medical Center.
Evelyn had a career full of not only teaching but also encouraging and helping people with diabetes all throughout the state of Florida. From working with companies, to personal contract work, it was hard to hear the word “diabetes” without hearing “Evelyn Schumacher” to accompany it. Evelyn served on many boards including Diabetes Coalition, American Diabetes Association, ADA Camp JADA, ADA Expo, American Association of Diabetes Educators, and Jacksonville Association of Diabetes Educators where she was President, and presented at National Meetings.
Evelyn has been a member of Trinity Baptist Church since December 2009. She served on multiple medical missions to Dominica where she worked closely with a Pastor to help in their medical clinic and hospital and served those in the community with basic medical care. She rode Tour de Cure for ADA over 60 miles two years in a row, completed a marathon in Bermuda, walked at every ADA walk available and participated in almost every diabetes related event she could. The last two years she was able to participate in the National Brain Tumor walk for Glioblastoma. Evelyn was very active in her giving to others, and participated in the Sisterhood of Servants who coach and cultivate the lives of young at risk girls here and abroad.
Evelyn is preceded in death by her beloved son Joshua, brother-in-law J.R. Hanks, and parents Charles and Laura Pitney.
She is survived by her daughter Sara; sister Sandra Hanks and brother Chuck Pitney (Jennifer); nieces Bea Hanks (Mike), Kara Holder (CJ), Jaime Marini (Dan) and Natalie Tracy Hoff; nephews Logan Pitney and Richard Lyons (Amanda); great nieces Kyla, Emma and Eva Morales Hanks and many, many other friends and family that she loved and cherished.
Family will receive visitors on Friday, November 20, 2020 from 6pm-8pm at The Hardage-Giddens Riverside Memorial Park Funeral Home, 7242 Normandy Blvd. A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 21, 2020 at 11am at Trinity Baptist Church, 800 Hammond Blvd. Interment will follow at a later date at Riverside Memorial Park where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved son Joshua.
Evelyn loved flowers and loved giving to others. The family is accepting flowers, but should you rather donate to a cause close to her heart, a memorial fund has been set up through the Sisterhood of Servants in her name: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9HKFF4A6Z9RPE
